Night-time photograph of a molten metal pour at an outdoor foundry or casting site. A large clay crucible or ladle glows orange-red while a bright flame and sparks rise from it, with a stream of molten metal running down into red earth. Metal bars or tongs hold the vessel in place. In the background, several men in white dhotis and light shirts and a few women in saris stand watching behind a low brick wall. The ground is reddish soil and the scene is lit mainly by the fire.
