Outdoor construction site at an ashram with bare red-brown earth, excavated trenches and concrete footing blocks. Stacks of cut stone and precast concrete pieces lie in the foreground beside a small smouldering fire of sticks and a green bin. A scaffold tower stands at left, and an orange saffron flag flies over a low building with a parked white vehicle. About thirty people in white and saffron clothing work and walk across the site, some carrying materials. A large grey stone structure is at right, with palm trees and hazy sky behind.
