In the centre, a man in an orange turban, orange robes and a rudraksha mala sits cross-legged behind a tall staff, beside another saffron-robed man holding a long staff. A camera operator in white stands on a tripod at right. Beside them, a body wrapped in a red cloth lies on a bier, surrounded by seated devotees in white and cream clothes. A white-draped table, brass items and a small shrine sit at left. Most seated observers are in white shirts and dhotis, viewed from behind.

A figure in orange robes with a yellow head wrap and a long gold-beaded necklace sits on a white-covered bench at the left, appearing to be the a person leading the rites; the appearance cues are an orange head wrap, orange robes and ornate beaded necklace, but this is uncertain. Beside him, several saffron-robed sannyasis sit cross-legged, one holding a small bell-like object. Brass lamps, a kalasha-style vessel and a long staff stand near the body. A cameraman in white with a yellow scarf films from a tripod at the right, and a crowd of devotees in mixed clothing sits in the foreground.2005-11-13 +1 copiesNovember 13 20052005-11-13 +1 copiesNovember 14 20052005-11-14 +1 copiesNovember 14 20052005-11-14November 14 20052005-11-14November 13 20052005-11-13Indoor evening ceremony in a pink-walled hall with a white-covered bench and an oil lamp on a low platform.
