A dirt path between a dry field and a wire fence lined with palm trees, with a crowd of men walking along it at low sunlight. In the centre, a bare-chested man wearing a white dhoti and a white shawl over his shoulders walks behind a black car, his hands pressed together in greeting. Beside him, a man in an orange robe walks ahead. Several men in white or light shirts press palms together or walk along the roadside, and a man in the foreground at left holds his hands together. A few small figures are visible in the distance across the field. Palm trees and a distant building with white walls frame the scene.
