Outdoor photograph on a dusty construction site under a pale sky with a water tank and a row of trees in the background. A man in a white long-sleeved shirt with a dark rudraksha-style cord at his neck, sleeves rolled, is in profile on the left, holding a large rough stone that another person's hand is passing or receiving on the right. A second man with a light forehead mark and moustache stands partly behind him on the left. A thin wooden stake stands upright in the soil between them. The ground is raw earth and sand.
