Description of drying paddies
Raju Doley is seen drying paddy in the sun. He says this paddy is one of the agotiyang aam, meaning "paddy that is done before the actual season". The paddy for the next season can be seen at the back in green, called horu jangiya. Since it had been raining for the past few days, he was not able to dry the paddy in the sun. Now he dries the wet paddies on a rope and begins assembling dried paddies for the next steps.
