A large black stone Shiva linga, a tall cylindrical lingam rising from a wide black yoni pedestal, stands outdoors at a construction site. The yoni base has a silver-toned spout and a white and black plinth. Several workers in plain clothes stand on tiered concrete steps and around the base, some scrubbing or working on the base. A ladder leans against the plinth, plastic buckets and sacks lie on the ground, and trees and a low wall are behind it under an overcast sky.
