Outdoor scene at a dusty yard with a row of four plastic buckets on a metal table: pink, white, beige and a second pink, filled with water. Two bald young men in white dhoti-style clothing with saffron-gold borders stand behind the table, one with a cord around his shoulder. Children and teenagers in casual clothes crowd around, including a boy in a brown shirt with red glasses reaching toward the table and a girl in a yellow top with a beaded necklace. A partially visible bald person in white stands in the left foreground. A plate of cut fruit sits at the lower left, and a green tree and orange building appear behind.
