A photograph of an unpainted golden-brown cast statue of Nataraja, the dancing Shiva deity murti, standing on one leg atop a crouching dwarf figure within an ornate arched halo of flames. The statue has a crown, raised arms, one hand holding a drum and the other gesturing, with a serpent curling beside the body. Behind it, two standing men in white dhotis with gold borders partly visible, one wearing a wristwatch; the area looks like a workshop with unfinished finishing.
