Outdoor photograph of a funeral pyre built of stacked logs on a brick platform on bare red earth, with pink-tinted ground around its base. A standing figure in a long orange-saffron garment stands at the left beside the pyre. To the right, about a dozen seated men in orange-saffron robes and several in white dhotis and shirts sit on green grass in rows. Parked buses and vans, saffron flags on poles, and a hazy forested hill fill the background. The figure in orange is standing, and no candidate is clearly identifiable from appearance, so no a person label is applied.
