A woman in a blue and yellow floral sari and an orange top, with a pink-and-white checked headscarf, balances a large grey metal basin on her head while smiling. She carries it across a paved area of cut grey granite slabs. Around her, workers in white shirts, a man in a brown shirt, and a young man in a navy t-shirt and grey shorts stand near the stone, some holding long wooden poles and tools. Green bamboo grows behind them and a reddish-brown earth ground is visible at the edge of the site. The scene shows manual construction labour on a stone-paved site.
