A large black stone linga with a tiered circular base stands at the left edge of a construction site. Beyond it, a concrete stepped terrace is under construction with rows of unfinished steps. Several workers in light shirts, dhotis and saris move across muddy ground, carrying materials and walking up the steps. Bundled bamboo lies on the lower left, a large boulder sits near the steps, and bare dirt slopes and a tall tree fill the background under a pale sky.
