A photograph of a village street scene in daylight. An elderly woman with grey hair, wearing a grey wrapped shawl and pale clothing, sits on the ground at the base of a white concrete pillar beside a whitewashed house with a wooden door. A red-and-green cloth hangs on the wall near the door. A small metal cup sits beside her on the sandy ground. Behind her, a thatched straw heap and a red metal frame lean against the road edge, with a palm tree and utility wires in the background. No ritual or a person presence is visible.
