Indoor photo of a final funeral rite in a plain room with pink-white walls, barred windows, a ceiling fan and a framed picture on the wall. A figure in orange robes with an orange turban and beaded necklace sits on the left, with saffron-clad attendants seated on the floor. A body draped in a maroon and gold cloth lies on a low platform in the foreground, surrounded by seated mourners in white and orange. Brass lamps, flowers and a long staff stand nearby, and a man in white stands at a video camera on a tripod at right. Several people are visible, and the figure in the turban has no clear visible identity cues beyond ceremonial dress.
