Outdoor construction work on a dusty courtyard at an ashram. Workers lay white hexagonal paving tiles with pink accent tiles on a sandy ground. A man in a blue checked shirt crouches to set tiles while a group of villagers stand watching: men in lungis and checked cloths, and women in orange, saffron-and-green, and cream saris with head coverings. A woman in orange holds a steel plate, and several steel plates and concrete blocks lie around. A white plinth with red and white borders stands at left, and a red-based pedestal with a white top stands at right. A white-clad figure is partly visible at the left edge.
