A dusty construction site at dusk with piles of red-brown earth in the foreground. A woman in an orange sari with an orange head covering stands on the mound at right, her hands at her sides. Behind her, a small pink-walled building with a corrugated roof stands beside stacked cement sacks, and a row of people in white and cream clothing stands near the doorway at left. Scattered rubble, construction materials, palm and tree silhouettes and utility poles fill the background.

Behind them stand single-storey tin-roofed buildings. On the right, a lone figure in saffron/orange robes stands near a partly built brick wall, with construction cranes, scaffolding, rubble and building materials around the yard.

A person in a saffron-orange robe with an orange turban stands on sandy ground beside a tall metal flagstaff rising from a white and red base, one hand raised to the head as if shielding the eyes. Behind a low block wall, workers in light clothing move among heaps of excavated earth, a concrete mixer, cranes and a bulldozer. Scaffolding frames a partly built domed structure and palm trees rise in the background. The subject's identity is unclear from appearance, so the figure is described by role and clothing only.2006-12-20
