In the foreground, a woman in a white sari with a green blouse and gold border walks with a sash-like end across her shoulder, wearing a pendant necklace and a red bindi. Beside her, a young woman in a white top and white shawl, with long dark hair in a braid, balances a white bundle on her head. Behind them, a figure in saffron-orange robes stands among the roots, and another person in red clothing is partly visible. The ground is red earth with low white brick-edged platforms around the tree base.
