Outdoor cremation ground in a dry open field with hills behind. A woman in an orange-red sari with a microphone stands at left, one arm raised, addressing the gathering. Beside a large stacked pyre of logs and planks on a brick-edged platform, seated mourners sit on the grass: men in white dhotis and shirts, and several men in saffron-orange robes. Parked green and white buses and cars sit in the background, and a small red-and-white item lies at the bottom left near plates of offerings. No readable signage is visible. The a person field is unsure because no candidate's appearance can be confirmed.
