Outdoors on a overgrown hillside with scrubby trees and scattered litter, two men stand beside a long stack of carved grey stone pillars and beams decorated with floral medallions and ridged bands. The man on the left wears a white kurta and white trousers and looks down at the stones. The man on the right wears a white short-sleeved shirt and blue jeans, holding a phone to his ear, and looks down at the stones. Faint smoke or haze drifts through the greenery behind them.
