A photograph taken inside a narrow corridor with corrugated metal walls. At left, a man with long dark hair and a dark red-brown wrap over his shoulders, with rudraksha-style beaded adornments, looks toward a large gilded wooden sculpture of a makara-like beast with a curled trunk and ornate carved body. Behind him, a second man in a dark shirt and white-framed glasses leans in to examine the gold-leafed carving. The gilded figure is elaborately carved with scrollwork and bands of decoration.
