Two young men carry a red plastic bucket filled with rough brown stones and earth across a dusty, dirt-covered ground between large, sprawling banyan tree roots. The man on the left wears a white collared shirt with light stripes, grey-brown trousers and a white tilak mark on his forehead, looking toward the camera. The young man on the right wears a navy and white striped shirt with rolled sleeves, blue jeans, a gold bracelet and a sandalwood tilak, and looks down at the bucket. Low concrete walls and a green tarp lie in the background among aerial roots and foliage.
