Four men stand on a dusty open-air site beside a corrugated metal shed holding carved stone pieces, pedestals and bowls. On the left, a man in saffron robes and an orange head wrap walks beside an older man in a white shirt and white dhoti. Centre right, a bald man in an orange kurta and saffron dhoti stands facing a person in a long, swept-back hairstyle wearing a rust-red and gold-striped robe with a rudraksha mala. Piles of cut granite slabs and rubble lie to the right, with trees and haze in the background. The scene is an outdoor site visit with no visible ritual.
