Andhra Pradesh

In this image, four men hold or push a heavy object above their heads. The image is shot from a lower angle making it seem that the workers are above us (the viewer). Their outstretched arms hold a beam-like structure. The weight of the structure is palpable from their expressions and their veins jutting out from their muscles. Even though this is laborious work, one of the workers (second from the right) has a smile whereas the person next to him shows some strain from the weight of the object.
