A large unfinished stone Shiva linga stands on a square raised plinth inside a rectangular excavated pit filled with still greenish water. The tall grey linga with its rounded top and wide yoni-pedestal base is the central subject, surrounded by tiered concrete steps and stone-lined walls under construction. Loose gravel, piled red earth, a green bucket, and scattered tools lie around the site. Palm trees and open flat land fill the background under an overcast sky. No people are clearly visible.
