Indoor photograph in a long, covered workshop with a corrugated metal roof and fluorescent tube lights. Several men in orange and saffron robes stand in a loose group among racks draped with orange cloth and shelves holding brass and copper ritual objects, including kalasha-style vessels and a small golden deity figure. On the left a man with long, swept-back dark hair and orange robes with a red-trimmed cloth stands facing the group. Two bald men in orange robes stand in the centre-right, and an older man with grey hair and a light saffron shawl stands on the right, while the front edge shows the backs of two heads. Two of the figures are partly obscured by the foreground. The people are seen mid-conversation as if being shown the workshop.
