A photograph of an outdoor courtyard where several men are building wooden crates for shipping. Four or five men in simple work clothes sit or crouch on a concrete patio among scattered planks and wood scraps. A shirtless man in a lungi stands near the center. Beside them, a white car is parked under a roofed carport with white pillars, and tall palms and a large tree shade the area. A wooden crate in the foreground has handwritten lettering on its side. A metal urn and a stack of pallets are at left.

Four workers are crouched or seated on the bare concrete floor assembling wooden frames; one wears a blue cap and another a grey shirt. Stacks of planed timber lean against the walls and loose wooden strips and offcuts lie scattered across the ground. A red cloth hangs on a metal gate. No a person candidate is visible, and the scene shows labour rather than any ritual or discourse.2007-12-06December 06 20072007-12-06December 15 20092009-12-15December 06 20092009-12-06December 09 20092009-12-09September 18 20062006-09-18A thatched-roof open workshop shed under palm trees where artisans are building temple furnishings.

A young man in a checked shirt stands at left beside a wooden bench and a yellow painted wooden backdrop. A man in a white dhoti and orange shawl bends forward over the bench edge, adjusting or arranging it.
