An open-air roadside workshop in Lado Sarai, New Delhi, displays Hindu religious idols being prepared for upcoming festivals. Several Lord Ganesha statues are arranged across the workshop in different stages of production, from pink-coated unfinished figures to fully painted and decorated idols. An artisan works among the sculptures and workshop materials under a temporary shelter. A colorful deity idol, likely depicting Lord Vishwakarma, is also being painted and detailed. The workshop is located beside a busy road, with passing vehicles, trees, and roadside infrastructure visible in the background.
