A photograph of a man in a maroon shirt and dark sarong measuring a golden temple doorway pillar with a long white measuring rod. His right arm is raised to hold the top of the rod against the carved gold-painted frame, and his left hand grips the rod lower down. A second person in a red top stands at the right edge. Behind the doorway, a wooden stand holds a gold-coloured deity figure draped in a patterned cloth beside a bunch of hanging items. Overlaid text reads that measurements are being taken for making the deities.
