Two men clean the paved base of a large dark stone structure at an outdoor temple-like complex. The man on the left wears a dark grey shirt, dark shorts with green trim, green gloves and sweeps the wet ground with a green-handled broom. The man on the right, barefoot in a grey shirt and dark shorts, sprays the red-and-white striped plinth with a hose. Red-painted steps, blue-tinted pavement with puddles, and a red and white striped wall form the foreground. Behind them stand a metal railing, brass urns, and the bottom of a sculpted figure atop the dark stone base.
