A man in a striped purple-and-white polo shirt and maroon dhoti sits cross-legged on a tarpaulin in a corrugated-metal workshop, carving a reddish-brown clay or stone sculpture with a hammer and chisel. He wears a red tilak on his forehead and a bangle on his wrist, and looks upward. Nearby lie chisels, a separate carved head or torso piece, rough stone blocks and a sack. The floor is dirt and the tarpaulin is printed with faded lettering. No a person candidate is visible; the page refers to satsang on gratitude, which is not shown in the image.
