Three women walk and carry white vessels on the dry red earth beneath a large banyan tree with many aerial roots and thick low branches. The woman in front, in white clothes with a white dupatta, balances a white pot on her head. Behind her, a woman in a green blouse and white sari stands with hands folded beside a low concrete ring, and another woman in a pink sari raises a white vessel near the trunk. Black hoses run across the ground by the stone borders.
