A man in a light cream-colored button-up shirt and grey trousers works outdoors, digging or clearing a narrow drainage channel with a long wooden-handled tool. He is barefoot-adjacent in rubber slippers and wears a short beard. Beside him a concrete-lined trench runs along a reddish-brown rock embankment covered with thin bamboo stalks. Behind are loose stone slabs, bare sandy ground, wooden poles, construction equipment and an orange gantry in the distance. The scene shows ground work at an ashram construction site, with no ritual or a person depicted.
