A workshop interior where a large white Nandi bull sculpture with yellow and green trim stands beside a painted Ganesha statue seated on a pedestal, draped in an orange cloth. A man in a peach shirt and white dhoti gestures with his hands while speaking. A man with long dark hair, wearing an orange saffron-coloured wrap, stands at right looking toward the statues. Red and yellow storage boxes are stacked along the right wall, and the Ganesha figure holds a modak and lotus. Two people are visible.

A smaller seated Ganesha in a similar orange-and-white style sits to the left. In the foreground are small clay Ganesha figurines, a green-and-blue Ganesha bust, and dishes of green, yellow, pink, blue and orange powder.

A second, smaller Ganesha figure stands on the left in matching pastel and red tones. In the foreground, a bald man in a saffron-orange robe kneels and flings coloured powder with his right hand over metal plates of green, purple, pink, yellow and red powder, with a brass vessel nearby. Other white-clad people stand at the edges.2014-09-18A photograph of a large Ganesha murti seated on a dark pedestal under a pink and white tent with string lights.

Around it, several men in white dhotis and saffron-orange robes with white tripundra markings on their faces stand and attend. The setting appears to be a temple or ashram festival space with a striped red and white wall.2017-09-03A man with long, shoulder-length dark hair and a red bindi on his forehead stands in an ashram room wearing a loose saffron-orange robe.
