A woman in a saffron-orange robe with a garland of mixed flowers walks barefoot on a dusty dirt road, flanked by men in white dhoti-and-shirt attire, several with lanyards. Another barefoot figure in orange robes walks at the left edge. Behind them, a man in a white shirt and a man in a dark green shirt walk, a few onlookers stand near steps, and a tiled-roof building and hillside trees appear in the background. Several plastic containers sit on the ground near the temple steps.
