Outdoor photo of a small grey granite shrine under construction beside a dug earth trench. Four square granite pillars support a flat slab topped by a stepped stone spire, and a black stone lingam sits on a pedestal inside, decorated with yellow marigold garlands and a few red flowers. Red-brown excavated soil and rubble surround the polished granite platform, with a green-glazed basin, stacked red cement sacks and a bucket nearby. A street with parked red vehicles, shops and a utility pole is visible behind, with a tiled-roof building on the right. No people are visible.
