In India,what do cement cylinder blocks mean in the yard?

My neighbors are from India. I've never talked to them, just waved on rare occasions. My house is on higher ground then theirs so when I look out my kitchen window, I can see their backyard clearly. I noticed that they keep cylinder blocks thrown all over the ground and they have to pick them up to mow, but then they scatter them back all around after mowing. I think it has some kind of religious or superstitious meaning, not just a clutter habit. I tried googling but nothing comes up and curiosity is killing me. I'm not gonna ask them.

    In the South, you will find people who leave broken cars in their yard as a sign of wealth and future projects. What you have is the beginings of an outside curry kitchen. Over the next decade, they will gather enough blocks to almost finish the project. I would not be concerned about them making a meth lab.

    Now go drink a beer and relax.

    I am from India and I have never heard anything like that. Any idea which part of India are they from. At least in Eastern India no one does anything crazy like that.
