Outdoors on open grassland with a red-earth patch, a woman in an orange saffron sari-style garment and a long gold-coloured necklace stands holding a small white object near a cremation or fire site. Beside her, a man in a light white short-sleeved shirt and grey trousers, with glasses, pours liquid from a brass pot onto the ground near a bed of grey ash and burnt material ringed with bricks. Scattered yellow flowers lie on the ground, a motorbike is parked at left, and trees and low hills lie in the background under a hazy sky.
