A photograph inside a plain workshop shed with a corrugated roof and white walls. A long-haired man in an orange saffron robe stands center-left, gesturing toward a large round wooden base with carved concentric panels on the floor. Behind him a bald man in white with a yellow shawl stands in the doorway. On the right a seated man in white with an orange scarf kneels beside the base, and another man in white with an orange sash stands near the stacked wooden planks and carved gilded panels. A man in a pink shirt and white dhoti stands at the left edge. Red wooden boxes and a small wooden stool are stacked at left. The orange-robed figure is an appearance-based candidate for a person, and the people visible total five.

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.

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.

Photograph inside a thatched, open-sided shed where a group stands among stone and bronze sculptures on a concrete floor. At left, a man with long dark hair wears an orange robe with a rudraksha mala and smiles as he looks down at the sculptures. Beside him, a figure in orange and a yellow garment stands near a wooden post, and a man in an orange turban and orange robe gestures with one hand. Behind them, bearded men in orange robes and orange turbans stand with men in white shirts and dhotis. At right, a bearded man in a white robe with an orange shawl and a mala stands with hands folded, while another man in white with an orange scarf stands further right. Carved stone figures and fragments lie on the floor in the foreground, with a bronze figure at lower left.

In the foreground right, a man in an orange shawl with long, swept-back dark hair and bare upper arm stands with an open palm extended toward a worktable. To his left, a man in white kurta and orange shawl gestures with his hand, and behind him a man in white kurta with an orange shawl and red rudraksha-style cord, wearing a wristwatch, looks on. At the far right, a man in white shirt and glasses stands beside wooden poles and a metal tool. Stone block walls form the backdrop.

A photograph inside a long, plain ashram hall with a concrete floor and white walls. Several saffron-robed sadhus and a few white-clad devotees stand in a line, some barefoot. A tall man with long dark hair and a rudraksha mala gestures upward with one finger, drawing attention. An older bearded sadhu in saffron leans over a low stand holding a white cloth above black stone objects. Behind them hang orange curtains, and on the left are a brass trident, a framed painting and a deity figure. Eleven visible people are standing in the scene.

A photograph inside an open-sided thatched shed with a concrete floor and wooden planks. A central figure in a long orange robe with long dark hair stands barefoot, with a wrapped orange cloth around the torso; his description aligns with a person appearance by long swept hair and orange clothing, though identity is uncertain. Around him stand several young men: two in orange robes, one in an orange shawl holding a folded cloth, and others in white kurtas and white dhotis, some with arms folded. One holds a colourful book. A wooden carved panel and a brass-toned lamp stand at the right foreground, and a small flame with red flowers rests on the floor near the lower right. Concrete block walls and a wire mesh enclosure form the background.
