A large black polished stone Shiva linga stands on a square concrete pedestal at an outdoor construction site, with a white-painted yoni-pitha base and a black circular basin around its lower part. The linga is set in a dug-out terraced area with tiered concrete steps behind it, bare brown earth, piled stones and bamboo scaffolding. A few workers and onlookers are scattered around, including people in white near the pedestal and figures walking along the steps; a small animal is visible near the right. Trees and a boundary wall stand in the background under an overcast sky.
