A worker in a grey shirt and a checked lungi, with a white cloth wrapped over his head, kneels on a wooden plank atop freshly poured concrete slabs at a construction site. He holds a hand tool, working on the grey surface, with a green electrical cord running across the slabs to a purple electrical switch box at the lower left. A metal bucket with grey cement and a pink plastic bottle sit nearby, and a pink plastic bottle lies on the concrete at the bottom edge. Dirt and small stones surround the site.

A worker in a green striped shirt, khaki shorts, sandals and a red checked head cloth cuts a large pale stone block with a green angle grinder in a dusty, open-sided stone workshop. Chips and fragments of stone litter the ground and piles of cut blocks sit behind him. The photo is a site image of stone cutting rather than a ritual or discourse scene.

A construction worker in a cream collared shirt and grey trousers stoops over a wooden block on bare, dusty ground, drilling into it with a corded power drill. A red thread is tied around his wrist and a small badge hangs from his shirt. Behind him are unfinished concrete block walls, windows and a wooden post wrapped in cloth, with scattered gravel and rubble on the ground.

A photograph of a construction worker sitting cross-legged on a freshly poured concrete rooftop, barefoot, working with a hammer and chisel on a metal rod. He wears a white cap with blue stripes, a brown and beige plaid short-sleeved shirt, and grey trousers rolled at the ankles. Pale slippers and a red-bristled brush lie on the concrete beside him, and puddles reflect the light on the wet surface. No a person candidate is visible.

Scattered broken tile pieces, paper and packing material lie on the floor beside a white wall and stacked wrapped white cabinets on the left.

A photograph of an outdoor construction site showing a concrete slab under construction with exposed vertical steel reinforcing rods rising from it. Wooden planks and formwork lie across the wet concrete surface. A worker in a white shirt and cap kneels at the left edge, working near the rebar, while another worker in a sleeveless yellow top and light trousers stands on the right beside the slab. Palm trees and open green land fill the background under a pale sky with scattered clouds.

A stone-cutting site under an open shed with pale sandstone blocks stacked in the background. In the foreground a worker in a green striped shirt, beige cargo trousers and a red head cloth bends over a long pale stone slab, using a handheld angle grinder whose spray of dust fills the air. Another worker in a striped shirt and checked lungi walks across the far side of the workshop. Scattered stone chips and rope litter the dusty floor. No deities, a person or ceremony are visible.
