Outdoors under large shady trees with hanging aerial roots, a man in a rust-orange robe with long dark hair and a rudraksha-style beaded cord digs the red-brown earth with a blue-handled spade. He is bent forward at the center. Around him, a woman in a cream and gold sari and a woman in a blue top holding a silver trident stand nearby, while several onlookers in white kurtas, a man in a red polo shirt with arms folded, and a woman in a blue kurta watch. A young sapling grows at the lower right of the frame. The man's appearance is consistent with a person candidate, though the description is uncertain, and his role is that of the person digging the earth. The scene looks like a planting or ground-breaking ritual.
