Outdoors under a large spreading banyan tree, several people dig into reddish-brown earth with hoes and digging tools. In the foreground a woman in a black top and a figure in a dark shirt and light trousers work the soil, while a man in a black top at left swings a hoe. Behind them a crowd of onlookers stands, including a woman in a teal sari, a woman in an orange robe, and men in white kurta-style clothing. At far right a man with long dark hair wears an orange-red dhoti and a rope-like cord across his chest, holding a hoe and standing barefoot. The scene looks like a communal digging or ground-preparation activity.
