Two men crouch barefoot on a paved brick floor outside, working on a metal piece together. The man on the left, in a blue and white checked shirt and maroon lungi, holds a torch-like flame nozzle with a blue hose and works at the metal. The man on the right, in a red checked shirt and white dhoti, sits on a concrete block and hammers a small metal object with a tool. Metal tools, a metal cup, a reddish cloth and a sheet of metal lie on the ground, with a grey metal fence behind them.

The man on the left wears a white shirt and light blue jeans and uses a chisel-like tool on the metal. The man on the right wears a teal-grey shirt, a mustard-yellow dhoti with yellow border, and a red thread on his wrist, holding a hammer. Behind them sit sacks, copper-coloured pots and other tools on the dusty ground. No deity form is clearly identifiable from this view.2009-12-13Close photograph of two craftsmen working on the ground soldering a copper sheet with a brass torch. A bare foot rests on the left, pliers with blue handles hold a copper wire, and a red-handled torch flame heats a copper piece resting on a brick. A metal bowl sits on the right, with a blurred stone or fabric in the background. No a person candidate is visible; only the hands and feet of workers appear.2011-10-22October 22 20112011-10-22June 29 20132013-06-29Close-up photo of two craftsmen working on a copper sheet on the sandy ground. One man, seen from the knees down with bare feet, holds the copper piece steady with blue and red pliers, while the other man's hand directs a brass gas torch whose flame heats the copper. The copper is blackened and discoloured from heat, and a small metal bowl of white powder sits at the lower right. No deity, a person candidate or ritual setting is visible.2011-10-22June 26 20132013-06-26A workshop photograph inside a covered open-sided hall where two men work on metal sculpture near a row of deity murti statues. On the left, a bare-chested man in a white sleeveless vest and white dhoti with a red thread on his wrist holds a tool over a metal pot with a blowing torch and burning charcoal, possibly soldering or casting metal. On the right, a man in a blue t-shirt and white dhoti sits cross-legged on a wooden board with tools and a red gas cylinder beside him. Behind them stand gilded and orange-robed deity statues on carved wooden pedestals, with framed religious prints on the wall and garlands at the left edge.2016-11-18October 19 20132013-10-19November 20 20162016-11-20Two men work outdoors on bare sandy ground beside a grey stone slab. The man on the left, in a checked green-and-white shirt and tan trousers, swings a long-handled hammer downward. The man on the right, in a light blue striped shirt, grey trousers and flip-flops, sits on a stone block holding a steel chisel or bar against the slab. Scattered metal rods lie on the ground, and dry shrubs and a blue tarpaulin appear in the background. The scene shows stone-cutting or metalwork at a construction site.2006-12-12
