Elevated view of an outdoor construction site at Aadhi Kailaasa in Bengaluru, where a yellow JCB backhoe loader stands at left beside a freshly graded dirt yard. About twenty people in white clothing, several with white head coverings and some with orange-saffron garments, walk and work across the open ground carrying tools and baskets. Stacked stone blocks, timber pieces, metal posts and rubble surround the site, with green trees behind. A worker in a red-and-grey lungi carries a tool at right, and a man on the wooden platform at lower left is partly visible. No individual can be confidently identified as a person from appearance.
