A photograph of an outdoor site on bare red earth with white survey lines and a tree trunk at left. A man with long hair tied back, bare-chested and wearing a saffron-orange dhoti and shawl, sits on a blue plastic chair with his bare feet visible, while a man in a light blue shirt and jeans lies prone on the ground with his forehead touching the soil before him. Several men stand around in white shirts and mundus, one holding a camcorder and another a folder, with additional chairs and a tree-lined background. The scene appears to be a land-measurement or construction-site ceremony.
