A photograph of a dusty construction yard beside small terracotta-coloured buildings with corrugated roofs and a coconut palm. A standing woman in a long saffron-orange sari-style wrap with bare arms and a short-sleeved top, one hand on her hip, faces right beside a barefoot man in a white shirt and white dhoti. Behind them are stacked cement sacks, piles of gravel, timber, a green handcart, blue drums and rubble. Two people are visible, and the scene shows site work rather than ritual.
