Two shaved-headed young men in saffron and orange-red sannyasi-style dhotis stand beside a large green wheeled waste bin overflowing with dry leaves, plant clippings and a white plastic bag. The man on the left, in red and yellow dhoti with a black strap across his chest, grips the bin's lid. The man on the right, bare-chested with an orange dhoti, a red sash and red beaded bracelets, leans on the bin with one hand and smiles toward the camera. Both wear sacred forehead markings. Behind them are a brick outbuilding, a corrugated roof, a banana plant and a red building, with two more orange-clad people in the distance and a gravel path in the foreground. The scene shows campus cleaning work.
