Indoor evening ritual in a plain room with cream walls, a white-draped bed or platform and a pillar in the foreground. A standing person in orange-saffron robes at left holds a small brass vessel, while seated people in orange and white clothing sit on the floor around brass oil lamps and offerings. Beyond them, a doorway shows a framed picture and a heap of yellow flowers. Two people in orange and white are visible in the background. The scene appears to be a funeral-related ceremony.
