Outdoors on a sandy courtyard in front of an orange-painted wall, several men work on a large dark brown statue lying on its side on a workbench. Three men stand or crouch around it in white shirts and lungis or dhotis, one in a white shirt and grey dhoti, another in a white shirt with a grey lungi. A seated man in white shirt and white dhoti at right holds a tool and polishes or carves the statue. A stone mortar and pestle and a grey plastic water cooler sit nearby. The statue shows a multi-limbed figure, possibly a deity murti, being sculpted or restored.

Three men work on a large brown clay or plaster sculpture lying on a sandy ground outside a building with orange walls and a maroon door. A young man in a white t-shirt leans over the sculpture's torso with his hands, a second man in a white t-shirt and grey lungi stands bent over behind it, and a third man in white shirt and dhoti sits on the right beside a stone mortar and tools. The sculpture appears to be an unfinished figure being shaped or coated, with a wooden bowl and stone tools on the ground nearby.2013-07-05July 05 20132013-07-05July 05 20132013-07-05July 04 20132013-07-04June 22 20132013-06-22 +1 copiesSeptember 16 20132013-09-16July 14 20132013-07-14A photograph of two young men working outdoors in front of an orange wall and corrugated metal sheet.
