A construction site for a temple with a yellow Escorts crane on the left, its hook and chains lifting a large grey granite block. Several workers stand around the stone pile: a man in a checked lungi and red head cloth gestures with one hand, a man in a blue-and-white checked shirt points, and a man in a khaki shirt and light head wrap stands near the crane. Behind them, a group of women in white and orange saris sit on the ground at left, and a woman in an orange sari stands at right near a black water tank on a steel stand. Cut granite blocks and a plinth wall are stacked around the foundation, with mounds of red earth and piled bricks in the background under a pale sky.
