A photograph of men erecting a large rectangular maroon signboard on two wooden posts at a dusty roadside plot beside palm trees and a bush with pink bougainvillea flowers. Four men work on the sign: on the left, two men in casual shirts and jeans push long wooden poles against the board; in the centre a man in white dhoti and shirt with a yellow shawl digs or tamps at the post base; on the right a man in white dhoti and shirt with a yellow shawl hauls on a long pole. A partly visible green signboard reading a country-side environment advertisement stands at the left edge. No a person candidate is visibly present.

A dusty roadside scene beside a large blank brown billboard mounted on wooden posts. Four to five men in white dhotis and white shirts, several with yellow shawls or sashes, work near the sign: one carries a long pole, others handle poles and debris. Palm trees, dry grass and pink bougainvillea surround the site. A smaller green-framed sign on the left shows a woman in a blue top and the text Timberleaf Resort Living European Style. The men are workers or devotees preparing the venue area, with no visible ritual activity; no person here is identifiable as a person.2010-02-03February 03 20102010-02-03February 03 20102010-02-03February 03 20102010-02-03February 03 20102010-02-03February 03 20102010-02-03A photograph of an outdoor temple construction site under a bright sky, with palm and leafy trees behind.
