A long single-file queue of young men stands on a dirt road in warm low sunlight, with the sun glaring from behind them. Most wear white or cream shirts and white or grey trousers; one man at the left wears a striped shirt and grey trousers with arms folded. A man in the middle wears a dark jacket and an orange-red cloth draped over his shoulder. Behind them stands a yellow construction excavator, a pile of metal rods and a tall light pole, with trees and low buildings in the background. The scene reads as an orderly line of devotees waiting to be received.
