A photograph of a person in an orange saffron robe with a long black mala of rudraksha-style beads bending down on bare dusty earth to plant a small green sapling. Long dark hair falls forward and a light marking is visible on the forehead. Around them, several men in white shirts, dark trousers and black shoes, and a man in a yellow shirt, stand closely watching, while the shadows of the onlookers stretch across the reddish soil. The planting appears to be a tree-planting activity.
