Several men sit cross-legged on the ground under a corrugated-roofed open shed, hand-hammering thin sheets of polished gold-coloured metal laid across cloth-covered sandbags. The foreground man, shirtless and wearing a checked lungi, holds a hammer and punch and works with bare feet on a wooden board. Behind him, others in plain vests and an orange-clad worker continue the same metal-shaping work, with tools and loose metal scattered on the dirt floor. A blue bag and a red cloth lie to the side. No a person candidate is visible, and the page is a workshop scene rather than a satsang.2013-06-26Three young men sit on a white cloth on dirt ground, working on brass plates by hand with hammers and chisels. The seated man on the left wears a yellow sleeveless top and a purple patterned lungi. The man in the centre wears a red top and dark brown cloth. The man on the right, bare-chested, wears an orange lungi and bends over a large embossed brass plate with a chisel. Tools, a small pile of chisels and scattered brass plates lie around them. Behind is a corrugated metal wall, a red door and other workers. This is a photo of metalwork craftsmen; no visible a person candidate.2013-06-27Four men sit on a floor in a workshop crafting silver or metal relief panels with hand chisels and tools. Two men on the left and centre work on pieces resting on a wooden board and cloth; the man on the right in a striped shirt and orange lungi works on ornate silver-toned relief figures. Scattered metal tools lie on the floor, and a green industrial machine stands behind them against a white tiled wall.2013-06-25Two men in white dhoti and shirt sit on the floor of a workshop carving and hammering metal panels for a temple. The man in front works with a chisel on a copper-coloured plate resting on a wooden block, while the man behind uses a small hammer on a gilded ornamental piece. Around them lie a curved gilded decorative frame, a wooden block, metal tools and scattered metal shavings, with a concrete block wall and a carved wooden table behind.2006-11-20July 11 20132013-07-11Making Of Sacred Arts University +1 copiesMaking Of Sacred Arts University +1 copiesJuly 01 20132013-07-01Three men sit on a floor in a workshop carving white stone or plaster sculpture parts, with golden deity statues on shelves behind them. On the left, an older man with grey hair and glasses, wearing a white shirt and white dhoti with an orange border, holds a chisel and mallet over a wooden block. In the centre, a man in a red-and-white checked shirt and white dhoti works beside a red bucket. On the right, a man in a cream shirt and white dhoti holds a pale carved foot. Tools and wooden sticks lie on the ground in front, and the golden figures on the wall are unfinished-looking sculpture work.2013-06-30July 01 20132013-07-01Two men sit barefoot on bare ground working on a metal sculpture. The man on the left wears a white shirt and light blue jeans and uses a chisel-like tool on the metal. The man on the right wears a teal-grey shirt, a mustard-yellow dhoti with yellow border, and a red thread on his wrist, holding a hammer. Behind them sit sacks, copper-coloured pots and other tools on the dusty ground. No deity form is clearly identifiable from this view.2009-12-13Three men in plain white dhotis and white shirts crouch on red earth, using hammers and chisels to carve a large reddish stone block. A fourth man in white stands at the edge behind them, and a person in orange robes is visible at the upper right near a green pot and white plastic chairs. Stone chips and rubble lie scattered on the ground. The scene appears to be sacred stone-carving work in an outdoor temple-related setting. No one in the frame is clearly identifiable as a person.2013-07-14
