A man with dark hair, a full beard and a dark vertical mark on his forehead stands outdoors among green trees, digging red soil with a long-handled hoe. He wears a bright orange zip-up fleece jacket over rust-red dhoti-style cloth with a golden border, and he is barefoot. His left hand rests on his thigh while his right hand grips the hoe, and he looks down at the earth. Fresh green seedlings sprout in the soil at his feet. The setting suggests ashram gardening or farm work.
