A photo taken inside a thatched, open-sided structure with woven palm-mat walls. In the foreground, a bare-backed man with long dark curly hair wears an orange-saffron cloth draped over his waist and legs, with a visible saffron wrap; he faces away from the camera toward a figure in an orange-saffron cloth and matching orange head wrap. To the left stands a large blue-skinned deity murti with a gold crown, gold ornaments and a raised arm, next to a reclining figure. Behind them, golden arches and boxes are stored. On the right, two men stand: one in a white shirt and cream dhoti with an orange sash, the other in an orange shawl with a white dhoti. The scene appears to be a preparation area for a temple figure.
