A photograph at a construction site with bamboo scaffolding and palm trees behind. A large grey stone Nandi bull sculpture with a carved necklace sits at left, and a stone base or platform stands beside it. A man in a plain white shirt stands at centre, hands resting on the stone ledge. At right, a long-haired person with a bare upper body wears an orange-saffron cloth draped over the shoulder and gestures while speaking. A man in a pink-and-white checked shirt is seen from behind at lower left. The person in orange shows a distinctive long dark hair and an orange wrap, but the face and overall appearance are not clearly enough established to confirm identity, so the role is given as a devotee in orange robes.
