Two workers at night beside a green borewell drilling rig, working at the base of the pipe in shallow muddy water. The man on the left wears a yellow head wrap, a plaid shirt and grey shorts; the man on the right wears a white shirt and dark shorts, both barefoot. Pipes rise above the rig, a control panel with coloured levers stands on the left, and spilled sand and a wooden pole lie in the foreground.
