A photograph of a long-haired, bearded man in a red-orange zip jacket and brown dhoti sits on the floor, smiling as he strikes a small metal object held on a rusty iron block with a blue-handled mallet. Scattered around him are many wooden-handled chisels, punches and tools on a blue mat. Behind him, a woman in a yellow-orange sari stands with her hands pressed together, and to the right a man with a shaved head, vibhuti on his forehead, rudraksha mala and orange dhoti kneels holding a tool. The wall is pale yellow with a power socket. The man at centre has long, swept-back hair and a ceremonial look; his identity is uncertain from appearance.

A man in a white sleeveless undershirt and white cloth kneels and strikes a chisel with a hammer against a large grey stone block. Two standing men beside him wear an orange cloth with yellow borders on the left and white dhotis with red borders on the right. A metal sink and a hammer head in the foreground frame the scene. Small yellow flowers lie on the ground.2013-07-14September 20 20062006-09-20August 29 20172017-08-29Two men in white dhoti and shirt sit on the floor of a workshop carving and hammering metal panels for a temple. 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.2006-11-20A smiling man in a saffron-orange robe with gold-yellow borders stands under a covered veranda, leaning forward to pour or offer from a long-handled vessel over stone slabs. He wears a long rudraksha mala with large beads and a swept-back dark hairstyle. Behind him, a garland of marigolds and other flowers hangs from a pole. On the left, two young men in white shirts and white dhotis stand near a wall. A woman in a maroon sari stands nearby, and a man in white kneels at the right with hands joined. The appearance is a person candidate by long hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha mala, with a ritual performed at a stone or brick setup.2013-07-14
