A construction site beside a roadside billboard with a bamboo scaffold. Several men in white dhotis and shirts stand around a wooden cart stacked with grey stone blocks. A man in a white dhoti and orange-bordered cloth stands atop the blocks, while a worker in white pushes the cart. Large white-and-orange-trimmed timbers lie on the ground, and a woman in a blue sari with an orange border watches nearby. The billboard shows a deity image on the left, a printed portrait of a woman with long dark hair on the right, and readable Tamil and English text in the centre, with a palm tree and trees behind.
