A photograph of an outdoor construction and installation scene on a red-brick stepped platform lined with saffron flags. A sannyasi-style figure in an orange-saffron dhoti and wrap with rudraksha beads on the arm, seen from behind, guides a large dark stone object wrapped in cloth, lifted by a crane on the right. A second worker in yellow helps steady it, and a young man in a gold-yellow shirt and jeans holds a metal railing beside a chain-link fence. Oleander bushes with pink flowers grow behind. Another worker in a pink shirt stands further back near a small structure.
