An elderly woman with short grey hair sits on the ground in front of a collapsed thatched hut of dried palm fronds and split bamboo. She wears a pink and white striped cotton sari, a small gold earring, and gold bangles, and gazes off to the side. Behind her lie torn pink and lavender cloth, plastic bags, scattered bricks, and a fallen tree with bare branches. A woven striped bag hangs from a pole on the right, and a metal pot sits beside her. Palm trees stand in the hazy background.
