Outdoor riverside ghat scene with dusty ground, scattered wood logs, flower debris and an orange-and-green cloth. Two barefoot men carry a wrapped body on a bamboo stretcher across ashy ground, one wearing a white head cloth and sweater, the other a striped shirt and shorts. Behind them, a crowd of men stands along a low stone wall and steps, many in white kurtas, sweaters, caps and head cloths. A bare-chested man stands at upper right near stacked wood, and a man in a grey shawl and blue turban stands at right. No one in the scene is clearly identifiable as a person.
