Outdoors on a flagstone path marked with bright yellow painted lines, a group walks past trees and a construction area with orange metal scaffolding and a chain-link fence. In the centre a bare-chested man in a dark red-orange wrap with a dark, swept-back hairstyle walks barefoot ahead of others, with a second man in white dhoti and a green-and-gold-bordered shawl beside him. Behind them a woman in a rust-red sari with a shawl holds a phone and wears beaded necklaces, and men in white shirts and dhotis and a man in green lungi follow. A man in orange robes with a rudraksha mala walks at the right edge. The scene looks like a site inspection of the temple construction layout.
