Outdoor cremation-site ritual on open grass with a silver SUV parked behind. A man in a cream dhoti and shirt pours water from a brass vessel onto a blackened brick-ringed ash pit in the foreground, water streaming down onto the ashes. Beside him a line of men in white dhotis and shirts stand barefoot; a bearded man in white with a saffron-orange shawl stands second from left among them, but his appearance is not distinctive enough to identify him. A man in white squats at left by a steel vessel and terracotta pots sit at right. Red earth, scattered brick and clay pots complete the scene.2005-11-14November 14 20052005-11-14November 14 20052005-11-14November 14 20052005-11-14November 14 20052005-11-14November 14 20052005-11-14November 14 20052005-11-14November 14 20052005-11-14Outdoor photograph of a funeral-rite scene on open grass. In the foreground, a woman in a white sari with a red border pours liquid from a brass vessel onto a bed of grey-black ash and charred embers, bordered by a few loose bricks on red earth. A man in white dhoti and white shirt stands barefoot beside her, watching. Behind them, a man in a cream shirt and white dhoti stands, and a man in a pink shirt and grey trousers and a man in green shirt look on. A silver SUV and a motorcycle are parked on the grass. At right, a man in white sits on the ground near a stack of paper and small clay pots.
