Four men stand on bare earth: on the far right a man in a white kurta and white dhoti with an orange-saffron shawl draped over his shoulders and eyeglasses, standing barefoot with hands folded near his chest; beside him a shorter man in an orange-saffron cloth and bare feet; a man in a light checked shirt and grey trousers holding a cloth; and a man in a white shirt and dark trousers at the back. Behind them are concrete block walls, a wire-mesh fence, stacked red soil and a scaffold. A small metal bowl sits on a concrete ledge at the tree's base beside a water bottle.
