Indoor photo of a final ceremony in a plain room with pink-and-cream walls, a ceiling fan and barred windows. A red-and-gold cloth covers a body lying on a low bed at right. A seated figure at left wears a saffron robe, an orange headwrap and a long beaded necklace; the figure's appearance is uncertain and a candidate identification cannot be confirmed. Around them several people in saffron and white sit on the floor, with brass lamps, a small offering tray and a long staff with a dark fabric piece in front of the bed. A cameraman in white stands on a tripod-mounted camera at the back right. A framed picture hangs on the upper right wall.
