Outdoor photograph of a temple under construction, with a timber scaffold of bamboo poles and rope lashings wrapped around stone walls and a flat sheet-metal roof. A large leafy tree fills the background. In the foreground, a man in a saffron/orange robe stands on loose dirt, facing two men in white ritual clothing; one wears a saffron shawl and white dhoti, the other a white shirt and white dhoti. A fourth man in a striped shirt stands at the right edge, and a person sits in shade near the stone blocks. Granite slabs and stacked stone sit on the ground, with a white plastic chair at the lower right. Four people are visible. The saffron-robed figure has long dark hair and no clearly distinctive ceremonial cues, so the identity is uncertain.
