Inside an open-sided thatched workshop with lattice screens, a man in a saffron-orange shawl and dark wrap stands at centre with long dark hair, facing a row of large bronze and metal vessels and dark stone or metal pieces on the concrete floor. Around him, several men in plain white dhotis and white shirts stand watching; one in white wears an orange shawl and a rudraksha-style mala and holds a hand near his chest. A white plastic chair and metal drums are visible at right, along with a white cloth panel behind. The setting suggests temple or ratham workshop work, with the group observing the metalwork.
