Photograph of a stone-yard construction site under an open shed where granite slabs and blocks lie on bare earth. In the foreground a man in a brown checked shirt and checked lungi kneels beside a long polished granite slab, placing green leaves on it. Two younger men in teal shirts and checked lungis stand behind him, and a partially visible figure stands further back. A plastic water bottle sits at right, with a brick wall and red painted boundary behind. The scene suggests stone preparation for a memorial structure.
