A wide outdoor photograph of a large excavation site at a construction area under a partly cloudy sky. In the foreground a rectangular concrete structure with wooden formwork sits in a muddy pit, with puddles, scattered planks and debris around it. Along both rims of the trench, and standing on the far embankment, a large crowd of people dressed entirely in white clothing gathers and watches the work. Trees, a utility pole and distant hills frame the background.

Outdoor photograph of a large excavated pit at a construction site under a pale blue sky with scattered clouds. A concrete-walled rectangular structure sits at the bottom of the pit with wooden formwork and scattered debris. A dense crowd of people dressed in white stands along the upper edges of the pit, with more people in orange and yellow clothing at the right edge. Green trees, low buildings and a dirt mound fill the background.

A photograph of a large excavated earthwork site with muddy standing water in a pit lined with stone kerbing and cut earth banks. A square concrete structure with a flat roof sits partly submerged in the water, with construction debris, rubble and scattered planks around the edges. Along the top of the far embankment a long line of people in white clothing stands in a row, and a few trees and a pale building are visible in the background under an overcast sky.

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.

A photograph of an outdoor construction site where a large grey stone Shiva linga stands on a square pedestal in the middle of a rectangular excavated pit. The pit is filled with still greenish water that reflects the linga and surrounding terrain. Stepped concrete walls line the pit, and piles of red earth and gravel surround it. A wooden plank walkway crosses the water to the linga. Several workers in the distance are visible at the edges of the site. Palm trees and green trees fill the background under an overcast sky.

A photograph of a dusty, unfinished construction site of bare reddish-brown earth. Excavated trenches and mounds of soil and rubble fill the foreground, with a small flat concrete slab or stone block lying in the cleared ground at centre. Scattered loose stones and debris are visible, and a row of young trees with a few distant structures and a hazy sky stands in the background. No people or ritual activity are visible.

A large excavated construction pit in dry, reddish-brown earth dominates the frame, with a concrete-walled structure and a foundation slab at its base holding some muddy water and debris. Along the far rim of the pit, a long line of people dressed in white clothing stands in a row under a bright sky with scattered clouds, with trees, low buildings and a fence behind them. The people appear to be a standing assembly or crowd watching the site, and no individual can be clearly identified as a specific person.

A photograph of an excavated construction site with a muddy pit containing a small concrete structure with a flat roof, bordered by brick-lined edges and scattered stones and pipes. Along the top of the far embankment, a line of about twenty people in white clothing stands and walks at the edge of the dug ground under a clear sky with trees in the background. The foreground shows exposed red soil and standing water.
