A low-resolution photograph of an outdoor shrine or small concrete structure with a grey-white upright slab and a stepped plinth painted in red and white bands. A thin hose or pipe runs along the ground to the left. Trees and a faded wall stand behind, and paving stones cover the foreground. No people are visible in the scene.

A large unfinished stone Shiva linga stands on a square raised plinth inside a rectangular excavated pit filled with still greenish water. The tall grey linga with its rounded top and wide yoni-pedestal base is the central subject, surrounded by tiered concrete steps and stone-lined walls under construction. Loose gravel, piled red earth, a green bucket, and scattered tools lie around the site. Palm trees and open flat land fill the background under an overcast sky. No people are clearly visible.

A photograph of an outdoor construction site where a large grey stone Shiva linga stands on a square pedestal in the middle of a rectangular excavated pit. The pit is filled with still greenish water that reflects the linga and surrounding terrain. Stepped concrete walls line the pit, and piles of red earth and gravel surround it. A wooden plank walkway crosses the water to the linga. Several workers in the distance are visible at the edges of the site. Palm trees and green trees fill the background under an overcast sky.

A photograph of a dry, weedy courtyard with a set of wide concrete steps descending into it on the right, littered with scattered debris and plastic. A small open pavilion with a round dome stands at the top behind a low wall, and a white bus is parked beyond. Several people in white and orange clothing stand near the wall at the top of the steps, appearing to be a small group at a site visit. Green trees and a red-tiled roof frame the background.
