Outdoor photo at a temple construction site beneath banyan trees. A worker in a white shirt and white trousers bends low to mark a yellow-painted line on stone pavement, with a yellow line traced across the ground beside a mound of excavated red earth. Around him, a row of men stands watching: one in a checked shirt and orange-brown lungi, one in a beige shirt, one in a teal top and green lungi, one in a pink shirt and green lungi, and one in a white shirt and white dhoti holding a rope. On the right, a bare-armed man in an orange-red cloth with rudraksha beads stands beside a bald man in white, and a man with long dreadlocks in a white dhoti with gold border stands at the edge. Another man in white with a steel pot pours water near the excavated mound. Red brick edging and a fence are visible behind.

An older man in a white dhoti with a red-bordered orange-and-red cloth draped over his shoulder and a gold waist sash gestures with both hands toward the ground, apparently explaining the layout to the men around him. Around him stand several men: one on the left with hands pressed together in namaste wearing a teal top and green lungi, a man in a white shirt and white dhoti with gold border, a man in a checked shirt, a man in a pink shirt and teal lungi at right, and a bare-chested man with a rudraksha mala and white dhoti with gold border at far right. A metal pot sits on the ground nearby.

A man in a purple shirt and black trousers, with long dark hair and a beard, stands at left gesturing toward a group. An older man with long braided hair wears a white dhoti with a gold border and bare upper body, standing among a crowd of people in orange and red garments. A man in an orange-and-white dhoti kneels near the paved floor, and a man in a beige shirt and orange dhoti holds a long rope or cord near yellow-painted layout lines marking a temple plan. Several people in orange and red saris or robes stand around, and a deity murti sits in a red-draped shrine at right with a kalasha-style structure beyond. Stacked notebooks and a bag rest on the ground. Yellow and white chalk lines mark the layout for a new temple.2018-02-01December 22 20102010-12-22February 01 20182018-02-01
