A cremation at a riverside ghat with a large wood pyre burning strongly, flames and smoke rising from logs beside a heap of firewood. Several men stand close around the pyre: a bald man in a white dhoti and shawl in the foreground, a man in an orange-brown kurta, a white-bearded elderly man, and a man in a teal-striped wrap at right. A man wears a light blue turban. Scattered litter, orange and red cloth, and plastic bags lie on the dry ground behind the fire. No one in the scene is clearly identifiable as a person by the visible appearance cues.
