Night-time photo at a construction site with sand heaps, stacked concrete blocks and a red-and-white wire hanging from a wooden post. In the foreground a man stands in profile wearing a saffron-orange sleeveless wrap over an orange garment, with dark swept-back hair and a white forehead mark; he is a person by his saffron robe and long hair, though his face is partly turned away. Behind him several workers are moving, one in a white vest and others in checked lungis, one bending over a pile of material, with motion blur throughout. A blue cylindrical drum and tyres lie on the ground.
