Outdoor photograph of a construction site, apparently the planned temple ground in an ashram compound. Many people in saffron/orange robes and white dhotis work on bare earth beside a low stone boundary wall, some bending to dig or handle buckets and a metal pot. A man in an all-white dhoti and shirt stands at left watching. Piles of brown earth, scattered wooden planks and stacked bricks lie around the ground. A large leafy tree fills the background under a pale sky with overhead power lines, and a small purple bird logo sits at the top left.
