It is harvest time in Nepal and these rice workers have travelled from western Nepal to work in the fields. They are paid little, sleeping above the cattle they had arrived with no blankets and few belongings. Here you can see the rice being spread out which is then fanned to separate the light dry husks from the grains. In the background the ox trample the left over rice grass to make it more palatable for the Buffalo which it will feed. The dry grass is then stored in large stacks.
