At night, an image captures the construction of a temporary festive structure (pandal) on a street in Kolkata, India. The central subject is a brightly lit, orange-ochre colored pandal with decorative white flower motifs and golden trim, featuring an arched entrance where a deity idol is faintly visible, illuminated in red and yellow light. Bamboo scaffolding supports the structure, and red flags top its ridge. To the left, a multi-story, dark red-brown building with multiple windows and balconies forms the backdrop. In the foreground, an overarching framework, likely the entrance to the puja site, is constructed from white fabric-covered arches and exposed wooden poles. Approximately 7-9 adult males are engaged in various construction activities. In the immediate foreground-right, one man in a striped shirt and dark pants bends over, handling wooden planks from a large pile. To his left, another man in an orange t-shirt and dark pants gestures with his right hand while observing the scene. A third man in a pink t-shirt with a towel over his shoulder stands nearby. Further back, several men are positioned near the main pandal, some next to parked bicycles, one in a blue shirt standing near a ladder, and another in a yellow t-shirt. The ground is a paved surface, partially wet with standing water, and scattered with wooden debris from the ongoing construction. Artificial lights illuminate the scene, casting shadows and creating a glare in the upper right portion of the image.
