Outdoor photo on a grassy plot with scattered shrubs and a partly built brick wall behind. A bearded man in a white shirt and white dhoti digs into the earth with a long-handled spade and a hoe-like tool, bent forward at a freshly turned mound of soil. Beside him a woman in a cream and brown sari with a pale head covering stands barefoot, looking down at the ground. A row of men in white shirts and dhotis and light-coloured shirts stands watching, hands folded. At the right, an older man with grey hair wears a blue-and-white checked lungi and a grey shawl. Yellow flower offerings lie at the lower left edge beside the fresh earth, and a small white box sits on a stool near the group, consistent with a bhoomi puja ground-breaking ceremony.

A man in a white shirt and grey trousers bends forward pouring water from a dull metal pot into a small pit, while another man in white holds a long bamboo pole and a shovel-like tool in the hole. Several men in white shirts and a man in a rust-coloured shirt crowd around, and a woman in a pink floral sari and gold bangles grips the bamboo pole on the right. Others in striped shirts stand at the left edge. The scene suggests a planting or ground-breaking ceremony at a rural site.2007-03-03January 23 20032003-01-23August 01 20082008-08-01
