A dusty open ground at dusk in a rural construction site. A long, unfinished single-storey building of grey concrete blocks with window and door openings runs across the background, with a corrugated metal sheet roof along part of it and bamboo scaffolding poles leaning against the wall. Several people walk across the bare earth in the foreground: a woman in a dark sari with a light shawl, a person in white clothing carrying a bundle, a woman in a teal sari, and a few children, one in a checked shirt. Tall trees and a faint hill line sit at the edges under a pale evening sky with overhead power lines.
