A row of grey stone Shiva lingams receding diagonally toward the top-left, each standing on a curved, lobed yoni-pitha base with incised bands near the top of the shafts. Behind them is a wall of alternating red and white painted bands. No people are visible. The lingams are smooth and evenly spaced, with a dark grey tiled floor at the left edge.

Outdoors on a tiled ground, several long grey granite beams lie side by side, carved on their faces with rosettes, lotus-like flowers, scrolls and foliage motifs. Behind them stacks of rough-cut grey stone blocks and debris sit on dusty ground beside a pale wall. No people are visible, and the carved stonework appears to be temple or architectural construction material.

Several grey stone Shivalingams with carved lotus-petal bases are displayed on wooden pallets at an outdoor construction site under a clear pale sky.

A small yellow vehicle and some trees sit in the background, with a red-earth embankment at right. No people are clearly visible, and the scene shows stone carving prepared for a temple.
