Outdoor scene beneath the large spreading branches of a banyan tree at a temple site. Workers and devotees are marking a layout on paving stones with white chalk lines. A man in a plaid shirt and dark trousers bends low to draw lines, while a second man in a khaki shirt marked POLICE kneels nearby in an orange-red dhoti. A woman in an orange sari stands at center, and another woman in a red sari with a purple cloth and a man in white stand to the right. Aerial roots hang from the tree and a shrine with a deity murti sits in the background.
