A dusty construction site with a bare earth floor and a freshly built stone-block retaining wall topped with a red brick course. A hand from the lower right holds a white hose spraying a strong jet of water onto the wall and ground. A black water tank sits on a steel frame at the left edge, and dense green trees, a utility pole with wires, and a small shed fill the background under a clear sky. No people are visible apart from the hand. The scene shows ongoing site work, not a ritual or event.

Outdoor construction site with a freshly built stone-and-brick boundary wall running across the frame, topped by a red brick coping. A jet of water sprays over the wall from a hose held by a worker at the lower right, whose pink and white checked shirt is partly visible. Dense green trees and shrubs stand behind the wall, with a utility pole and wires at left and a small brick structure with an open front beside the wall. Bare reddish-brown earth lies in the foreground.2006-12-19December 19 20062006-12-19November 16 20062006-11-16An outdoor construction site at dusk under a heavy overcast sky. In the foreground is a large pile of rough grey granite boulders beside a mound of reddish-brown earth. Behind them stands a black cylindrical water tank partly screened by a thatched straw shelter. A dirt track runs through the site toward a low wall, lined with palm trees and shrubs. Distant figures in light and dark clothing stand near a red-and-white striped barrier on the left, and a motorbike is parked there. No ritual activity is visible.2009-10-31December 19 20062006-12-19January 15 20182018-01-15December 20 20062006-12-20A photograph of a cleared, reddish-brown earth site under a pale dusk sky, with tire-rutted dirt and scattered rocks in the foreground. Large boulders sit at the lower left and right edges. Behind the cleared ground are a low ridge with scrubby bushes, a white boundary wall, eucalyptus trees, and a small white cabin-like structure. At the far right, a building with a corrugated roof and a lit signboard stands at the edge of the site. No people are visible.2009-10-31A dusty construction site under a pale blue sky. A long pale grey single-storey building with several open doorways stands behind a row of tall metal poles and a wire fence with orange plastic barrier tape. In the foreground, a shallow trench holds muddy standing water beside grey precast concrete blocks, scattered rubble and a patch of green grass. A tree and a few palms appear in the background, and a tall pole with a black box rises at right. No people are visible.2014-10-12A photograph of an outdoor construction site with a narrow trench lined with grey stone slabs and concrete-like side walls running diagonally into the distance. Loose grey stone slabs and rubble lie on dry dirt on the left, and a thatched palm-leaf shelter with a bundle of dry straw stands on the right beside grass and tall reeds. Several trees and a heap of straw are in the background, with a stack of wooden planks on the far left. No people are visible.2007-06-05A temple construction site in daylight beneath large green trees and a clear blue sky. Excavated red earth, stacked building blocks and wooden shuttering frames surround a freshly poured concrete foundation, with a low stone compound wall behind. Many people stand and move around the site: several women in orange saris, men in white dhotis and kurtas, and a few in orange robes. A woman in the foreground wears an orange sari with a long braid, and a man in a white shirt stands with arms folded. Workers in lighter clothing bend over the foundation. Tall poles and a lamp post stand at the edge, and a red and white striped cloth hangs on a fence. Only visible people are counted.2006-12-09November 16 20062006-11-16 +1 copies
