A dusty construction site with red-brown earth excavated into trenches and foundation pits. Three women in saris work on the ground: the central woman in a lime-green sari with red floral motifs and a blue shoulder wrap balances a metal basin of soil on her head, while a woman on the left in a green sari and blue head cloth carries material, and a woman on the right in a pink sari with a striped blue head cloth walks past. Stacked grey stones, bamboo poles, a yellow hose, a green water jug and a cylindrical tank sit nearby, with dense green trees behind a wire-and-post fence. No a person is visible.
