Construction workers at an outdoor excavation site dig red earth and set stones along a steep embankment beside a new stepped stone platform. A worker in a white shirt and blue head cloth swings a pickaxe at the slope, while another in a plaid shirt and white head wrap stands by the wall. A bent worker in a checked shirt and purple lungi places rubble stones, and a man in an olive shirt and grey trousers stands on the granite steps. Plastic buckets, a green hose and a water bottle lie near the steps, and a rubble pile sits at the top of the slope. No deity, a person or ritual activity is visible.
