A photograph inside a covered, open-sided shed with yellow pillars and corrugated roof, where stacks of clay pots and wooden crates fill the background shelves. In the foreground, a bare-chested man in an orange cloth with a rudraksha-style neck bead holds a blue tarpaulin while a younger man in a red-and-white checked shirt and jeans stretches the sheet up the wall. On the left, an older man wears a red checked head wrap and white shirt with a white lungi. A man in white shirt and lungi walks in the back, and a shirtless worker stands near the centre. The blue tarp is being pulled taut across the wall.

A rustic outdoor metal casting workspace under a blue tarpaulin roof supported by wooden poles, with a latticed bamboo-style wall behind. A standing figure in a long orange robe with long dark hair stands at center, appearing to oversee the work. Three men work seated and crouched around clay-looking vessels and a mould, one in a white vest, one in a striped shirt, and one in a pale shirt. A man in white dhoti and shirt stands at right holding a paper. Large dark cast metal pots and a green cloth lie in the foreground.

A photograph taken inside a large, open-sided workshop with a corrugated metal roof and fluorescent tube lights, filled with carved stone and metal deity statues, wooden carts and crates. Two men in the foreground stand near a black hydraulic pallet jack. The central figure wears a bright saffron-orange shawl and robe, has a red tilak on his forehead and a gold chain, and stands with his hands together. Beside him a man in a maroon robe with a golden border, white sacred ash lines on his forehead and arms and a long rudraksha mala gestures toward a statue. Behind them a young man in a white kurta and dhoti stands with folded arms. Large deity murti and a bronze figure appear at left.

Outdoor metal casting work under a blue tarpaulin roof supported by wooden poles and lattice panels, with a concrete block wall behind. A standing figure in a flowing orange-saffron garment with long dark hair, pointing with one arm, appears to be a person, with the cues of long swept-back hair and saffron clothing; he stands above three seated men. A seated man in a white shirt tends a furnace or crucible area with metal pieces, a man in a white vest sits at right, and a man in a striped shirt sits in the centre near large clay and metal vessels on the ground. Workshop tools and a large metal pot are visible in the foreground.

A photograph inside an open-sided workshop with a corrugated roof, woven lattice walls and unfinished concrete blocks. Several saffron-robed sannyasis wearing orange head cloths stand grouped in the foreground. The man at the front right has long dark hair, wears an orange robe and sandals, and gestures toward the floor. Beside him, a man in an orange robe with an orange head cloth and beaded necklace stands near a bearded sadhu. A white-shirted man stands to the right, and another stands at the back. The floor is strewn with carved wooden or copper-coloured temple panels, figures and architectural pieces, with a wooden easel and tools nearby. The setting appears to be a craft or sculpture workshop.

A photo taken inside a thatched, open-sided shed with a concrete floor and bamboo lattice walls, where a group of men in orange and yellow sannyasi-style robes stand among stone and clay sculptures and unfinished carved figures. In the centre, a man in orange robes and an orange turban, with rudraksha malas around his neck, faces a bare-backed man with long dark hair who is also wearing an orange cloth. Beside them a man in a white shirt and white dhoti stands with folded hands, and a bearded man in white and an orange shawl stands at the right. A younger man in white dhoti and a shawl stands at the left. Several sculptures and carved stone pieces lie on the ground at the bottom of the frame.

Outdoor metal-casting workshop under a blue tarpaulin on a bare earth floor. A large clay furnace or crucible sits on a round stone base in the foreground, with a metal pot nearby. Two workers in white shirts and dhotis tend the casting work at left, and a third person sits at a low stone seat. A woman in an orange robe with long curly dark hair stands at right, one arm extended and pointing toward the workers, with stacked firewood, a stone slab and blue bags beside her. Brick walls and a lattice-screened shed form the background.
