The man in front works with a chisel on a copper-coloured plate resting on a wooden block, while the man behind uses a small hammer on a gilded ornamental piece. Around them lie a curved gilded decorative frame, a wooden block, metal tools and scattered metal shavings, with a concrete block wall and a carved wooden table behind.2006-11-20July 11 20132013-07-11July 20 20092009-07-20A barefoot man in a white dhoti and sleeveless white vest crouches on a concrete floor, working on a flat golden-brown metal sheet with a repoussé floral pattern, pressing it with his hand. Around him lie metal tools, a small anvil-like block, a crumpled paper bag, scrap newspaper and a carved gilded wooden panel leaning against the wall at right. A white wooden bench stands at left. The setting is a workshop-like room used for craft work.2009-09-22A man in a checked short-sleeved shirt and white dhoti with green border squats on a bare concrete floor, hammering and chasing a sheet of copper with a hand chisel and hammer. A red thread is tied on his wrist. Around him lie metal tools, a hammered copper bowl, stacked copper pots and wooden crates, and a concrete block wall stands behind. No a person candidate is visible; the scene shows metal casting and craft work at a sacred arts setting.2006-12-10 +1 copiesSeptember 22 20092009-09-22 +1 copiesSeveral men sit cross-legged on the ground under a corrugated-roofed open shed, hand-hammering thin sheets of polished gold-coloured metal laid across cloth-covered sandbags. The foreground man, shirtless and wearing a checked lungi, holds a hammer and punch and works with bare feet on a wooden board. Behind him, others in plain vests and an orange-clad worker continue the same metal-shaping work, with tools and loose metal scattered on the dirt floor. A blue bag and a red cloth lie to the side. No a person candidate is visible, and the page is a workshop scene rather than a satsang.2013-06-26September 22 20092009-09-22
