A man with long, swept-back dark hair wears an orange-saffron cloth draped over his body, bare-chested, and points ahead with his right arm. Beside him a man in a white dhoti and white shirt with an orange shawl stands with his hands together near a wall opening. The floor is unfinished sand and a blue plastic barrel stands in the middle. Concrete block walls and wooden posts frame the long interior. a person is described by appearance only, based on the long hair and orange clothing of the man pointing, who appears to be overseeing construction work.
