In the centre, a man in a white shirt and white dhoti stands with arms folded, while another man in a white shirt and white dhoti works at a smouldering fire pit, pushing embers with a long-handled shovel and smoke rising. Another man stands at the left edge near a bed of plants, and a partially visible person in a colourful sari stands at the right edge. Scattered debris and a small bench sit on the ground.
