An outdoor photograph beneath a large tree shows a bearded man in a rust-red dhoti and wrap, bare-chested with a long brown rudraksha-style mala and a dark sash, digging red soil with a long-handled spade. Beside him stands a woman in a teal sari with gold bangles, watching. Behind them a row of about nine people stands in casual clothes: a blue patterned kurta, a white outfit, a red shirt, a pink shirt, and a cream sari. The ground is freshly turned, with a string laid across the earth. The man shown digging is an appearance-based candidate for a person, but the identification is uncertain, so the role is given as digging worker and the a person field is unsure.
