Outdoors at a construction site with raw red earth, dug trenches and mounds of soil under a bright sky and trees. A long line of people in white clothes walks along a dirt path, some in pale shirts and dhotis, some in colourful saris and salwar. In the foreground a man in a long saffron-orange robe with long swept-back hair and bare feet steps up onto a white concrete step, with a distinctive long hair and saffron-robe appearance consistent with a person. To the right, a bald man with glasses in a white shirt and orange shawl stands beside a white block wall. Hanging above are rows of yellow paper decorations, and a framed portrait in orange appears at the upper right corner.
