The scene is also very characteristic of the state of West Bengal, India, particularly in the regions west of Kolkata. The landscape, with its reddish-brown soil and dry vegetation, is common in districts like Bankura, Purulia, and Paschim Bardhaman. The style of the saree is also frequently seen in this region. This presents a strong alternative to Uttar Pradesh, as the general cultural and environmental indicators are nearly identical.

Bangladesh is another highly plausible location. The appearance of the people and the clothing are indistinguishable from those in neighboring Indian states. The vast river systems of Bangladesh, like the Padma (Ganges), create extensive earthy banks (chars) that look identical to the scene, especially during the dry season before the monsoon. The vegetation is also consistent with many rural parts of the country. This makes Bangladesh a viable candidate, though perhaps statistically slightly less likely than the vast, similar regions of India.
