Outdoor groundbreaking ceremony on grassy land with scrub vegetation behind. A man in an orange-saffron shawl and orange turban, with a white flower garland, stands at left and watches. A white-clad man in a white shawl bends to hold a vertical wooden stake while another white-shirted man digs with a spade beside him. Several men in white and light shirts and trousers stand around observing the ceremony. The orange-clad figure appears in an orange turban and saffron garb, so the a person candidate is uncertain from appearance alone.
