A woman in a striped blue-and-white collared shirt and blue patterned skirt walks outdoors, carrying a large green plastic basin of white material on her head, steadied with a striped cloth pad and her raised arms. Behind her are bamboo stalks, a brick wall with a dark doorway, and scattered piles of white construction blocks on dry grass with a red-edged path. No swami or ritual figure is visible; the scene is a labourer carrying material at a worksite.
