Two men in white ashram clothes work outdoors at a wooden table in a dusty yard, cutting yellow sheets with a blade. One elderly man has grey hair and wears a beaded mala necklace with a pendant; the other, wearing glasses and rolled white sleeves, marks the yellow material with a green pen. Beside them stands a large round copper-coloured metal disc decorated with concentric rings and pale paper templates of ornate floral motifs taped to its surface. Wooden planks, a plastic container and a third person in white with a mala at the right edge complete the workshop scene.
