A young man in white dhoti and white shirt with an orange-red shawl squats barefoot on a dirt-and-grass ground outside a building, both palms extended toward two white pigeons pecking nearby. Behind him, a seated man in white ritual clothing sits on a white plastic chair beside a doorway. Clay pots, a plastic water jug, a steel pot, plastic bags and sacks are stacked against a whitewashed wall, and another man in white sits on a mat at the right edge.
