A photograph taken from a rocky hilltop overlooking a dense city, with two tall gopuram towers of a temple rising in the background under a hazy sky. Below, on a reddish-earth clearing among green trees and shrubs, many devotees dressed in white clothes sit or stand in small groups, some seated on the ground and others on a stone ledge, some with folded hands in prayer. One person in white sits cross-legged on the earth near the bottom right, and another stands at the edge of the clearing. A bare tree stands at the centre of the clearing. A small pale-yellow building with signage sits at the left edge of the hill. No one is identifiable as a specific individual.
