A photograph of terracotta Ganesha-style figures seated among a field of fresh green sprouts or seedlings. Three clay figures are partly visible at the left, top and right edges, their orange-brown bodies contrasting with the pale green growth that fills the frame. The light is washed out and bright, giving the scene a soft, faded look. No people are visible in the image.
