A dusty outdoor ground with faint parallel tyre-like ruts, set against a bamboo fence, pink bougainvillea and a rocky outcrop at dusk. Several shaved-headed men in white dhotis with red or saffron borders stand and walk across the ground, one bare-chested with a yellow cloth tied at the waist. Women in white and cream saris and a child in a blue shirt stand in the background near a row of white-clad people. In the foreground stand blue and red buckets, one red bucket with a green sticker and others holding dark liquid. Small white cups sit scattered on the dirt. No one here shows distinctive a person cues, so the figures are described by role only.
