A dusty construction site beside unfinished brick buildings with exposed timber scaffolding and a heap of sand in the foreground. A standing figure in a saffron-orange robe and matching orange turban, with long hair and a light-coloured wrap, faces a group of about twenty men gathered in a semicircle. Most men wear white shirts or white dhotis with lanyards around their necks, and several wear orange or blue clothing. Two figures stand on the upper floor of a building at the right. The orange-robed figure, with the turban, long hair and saffron clothing, is an appearance-based a person candidate; the page indicates his presence at this event, but the cues are not fully conclusive, so identity is marked uncertain.
