A photo inside a workshop or storage shed with a corrugated metal roof, yellow steel pillars and a red brick wall. Gilded wooden frames, arches, a golden chariot-style carving and a painted deity murti with a crown and blue-and-red garment are stacked around the floor and on wooden platforms. Several people walk through the space: a man in a grey shirt and jeans at left, a man in a light blue shirt and white dhoti, a man in a white kurta, and a woman in a yellow top in the foreground. Two figures in saffron-orange garments stand near the centre, and another woman in a patterned dress stands in the middle. Scattered lumber, tools and a red cloth lie on the floor under fluorescent lights.
