A woman in a white sari with a gold border and a braid holds folded hands near her chest and carries a bundle wrapped in lavender cloth. An older woman in a teal green sari with a maroon blouse and bangles also holds her palms together, and a man with a white beard and white clothes with a sash-like wrap stands beside her, leaning on a blue crutch with his hands folded. Around them men in white kurtas and dhotis stand, one in a light checked shirt wearing glasses. A mound of earth and a red-and-white painted border sit behind them.
