Outdoor scene on bare, dusty ground with scattered ash and small fire pits. Many people sit in white clothes, some near smoking hearths. In the foreground, a woman with a dark headband sits facing away. Three figures stand in orange: one bare-backed man with long dark hair wears an orange wrap, a man in a white kurta with an orange shawl stands centre, and on the right a shaven-headed man in an orange robe holds a small object near his waist. Trees, a half-built structure and houses frame the background under a pale sky.
