A dusty dirt road runs toward a distant gateway under a pale, sunlit sky, with a long white boundary wall on the right and utility poles and trees behind. Along the left side, tall banana plants with broad leaves line the path. About eight people in white ritual clothing walk away from the camera in a loose group along the road; several wear white dhotis and kurtas, and a few carry objects or bundles. No individual can be identified as a person from the visible appearance, so the figures are described only by clothing and action.
