A group of people dressed in white clothing assemble a temporary structure of bare wooden poles and crossbeams on a dusty open ground in front of a red multi-storey building. Several figures stand around the frame: a woman in a red sash and white dress at left, a boy in white kurta and white dhoti in the centre-left, a person crouching and tying the pole joints in the middle, and an older woman with short light hair in white clothing directing the work at right. A tall bamboo pole rests diagonally on the ground in the foreground, with a green tree and open sky behind. Scattered stones and a few other poles lie around the site.
