Four people in orange-saffron clothing dig and shovel reddish-brown soil on a cleared earthen mound beneath large spreading banyan-type trees with thick aerial branches. The woman in the centre, in an orange kurta and dhoti-style trousers with a waist sash, lifts a shovelful of soil as dust flies. Another woman on the left in loose orange robes holds a digging tool, a figure on the right in orange bends low and works with a tool, and a further person in orange stands in the background among the trees. No one is identified as a person.
