A dusty, rocky open ground beside a high wall and a scrubby hillside with red-brown cut earth. A man in a grey shirt and blue checked lungi walks away on the left, carrying a large yellow plastic water jerrycan on his head. Near the centre stands a corrugated sheet enclosure with a brown cloth hanging across an opening, partly screened by a leafy tree. Two men stand to the right: one in a blue checked shirt and the other in a white shirt and brown trousers with a bag strap over his shoulder. No deity, ritual, or a person depiction is visible.
