Outdoors beneath a large banyan tree with hanging aerial roots, a bare-chested man with long dark hair and a rudraksha mala digs red earth with a blue-handled shovel. He wears a rust-red cloth and a long braided rope sash. Around him, people in saffron and orange robes, a woman in a cream sari with green blouse, a woman in teal sari, and a man in a navy shirt and olive trousers watch and hold spades and hoes. Some onlookers wear white. Fallen soil and tools surround the digging site.

The central figure is bare-chested and wears a rust-orange dhoti and wrap, with a long brown rudraksha-style bead mala draped over the shoulders, and stands bent slightly forward with one hand on the hip. Around him, a group of onlookers stands watching: a woman in a teal sari, a woman in a cream and blue patterned top, a man in white, a woman in a green blouse and cream sari, and others partly hidden by foliage. Hanging vines and tree trunks surround the scene, and a green sapling grows beside the mound. A woman at right in a blue sari holds a small object. Count of visible people is more than five.2016-09-11September 11 20162016-09-11An outdoor photograph beneath a large tree shows a bearded man in a rust-red dhoti and wrap, bare-chested with a long brown rudraksha-style mala and a dark sash, digging red soil with a long-handled spade. Beside him stands a woman in a teal sari with gold bangles, watching. Behind them a row of about nine people stands in casual clothes: a blue patterned kurta, a white outfit, a red shirt, a pink shirt, and a cream sari. The ground is freshly turned, with a string laid across the earth. The man shown digging is an appearance-based candidate for a person, but the identification is uncertain, so the role is given as digging worker and the a person field is unsure.2016-09-11September 11 20162016-09-11September 11 20162016-09-11September 11 20162016-09-11September 11 20162016-09-11September 11 20162016-09-11
