Several in saffron/orange robes, including a shaved-headed man in the left foreground with an orange shawl, and others in white dhotis and shirts, use spades and shovels to turn soil. Piles of broken stone, bricks and timber lie to the left, with palm trees and buildings behind. The scene reflects groundwork for temple construction at the ashram. No figure can be confidently identified as a person from appearance; the shaved-headed man in orange is a priest or devotee.2006-11-20Outdoor construction site with bare red-brown earth, concrete block walls and rebar posts. A man in orange robes stands atop a stacked block wall with an orange-and-white cloth wrapped around him, a small orange head covering visible. Many people in orange and white clothes work around the site: some in orange dhotis and saffron shawls carry earth in baskets and shovel soil, others in white dhotis and shirts bend over mounds of dirt or stand in a line. A blue tractor and water tank appear in the background beside palm trees. The scene reflects a temple construction work day. +1 copies
