A photograph at a stone temple-construction site under an open carved stone pavilion. In the right foreground a person with long dark hair wears a bright orange saffron wrap and sandals, and writes on an orange clipboard. Behind a grey stone platform, a man in a grey shirt, purple lungi and orange turban stands near a water tank on a metal frame, while a seated worker in a red turban and blue shirt works beside an electrical cord and tools. Another worker bends over in the background, and bare trees and bushes fill the view.
