A worker stands on the scaffold near the column's base, and several other workers are scattered around the site, some on platforms and some at ground level. In the foreground a figure in a white dhoti and shirt stands on the left, facing right, and a person with long dark hair wearing an orange-saffron wrap stands in the centre-right, viewed from behind. A granite nandi bull statue rests on a plinth at the left edge, and a stone structure with a flat top sits nearby. Loose bricks are piled at the right edge.
