A person in a white short-sleeved shirt, white trousers and a light green sash bends forward barefoot, sweeping a stone floor with a straw broom beside a carved stone pillar in a temple-style courtyard. A second worker in a green cap, face mask and khaki shirt sweeps further back, and a figure in orange robes stands between the pillars. Ornate carved pillars and a red-ochre painted wall frame the scene.
