A front-left man with a short mustache and a sacred forehead mark wears a white shirt, white dhoti-style cloth and a wristwatch, and has a name badge clipped to his shirt. Behind him, several men in white shirts and white dhotis or light grey trousers stand or walk on a sandy path, some wearing name badges, and one man in a pale green shirt and grey trousers stands at right. A coconut palm rises behind the building. A dated timestamp in orange reads 16.10.2006 along the left edge. No clearly identifiable a person appears in the frame.
