Outdoors in a dusty yard beside a red brick compound wall with a tree behind it, two people clear debris and burn refuse. A bald man in white dhoti and white kurta, with a dark mala around his neck, bends over a smouldering pile of ash and leaves, touching it with his hands. A younger man in white shirt and dark trousers, barefoot, rakes the heap with a long-handled tool. White sacks and a metal bucket lie nearby on the bare ground.

February 05 20172017-02-05A photograph of two men clearing debris in a dusty outdoor yard beside a red brick wall with greenery behind. The man on the left, bent forward, wears a white kurta and white dhoti, has a shaved head and a long braid hanging down his back, and is using a long-handled hoe to dig soil. A dust cloud rises from the ground. Beside him, a second man in a white shirt and dark trousers rakes debris. Several white sacks filled with rubble and soil sit on the ground, and a shovel lies in the foreground. The man in white with the braid is a shaved-headed worker; appearance alone does not establish him as a person, so no identity is asserted.2017-02-05 +1 copiesFebruary 05 20172017-02-05 +1 copiesFebruary 05 20172017-02-05 +2 copiesA man in white kurta and white pants, with a rudraksha mala around his neck and a bangle on his wrist, bends over and digs at dirt with a hoe-like tool on a dusty ground patch.
