Hilly green terrain and a red shipping-container-style structure with a white roof stand behind. Several people in white dhotis and orange or saffron clothing move among the rows near the far structure and walk along the edges. A readable sign on the container reads GOLD. Mostly visible figures are small and distant, so the count is approximate.2011-12-08April 17 20112011-04-17
