A photograph of a long line of devotees walking single file along a dirt path through a tree-lined forest. In the foreground a woman in a cream sari with a gold border and a long braid holds a small object in her hands, and beside her a young girl in a white skirt and a coral-pink top walks barefoot.

A long line of devotees walks single file along a red dirt path through a dense grove of tall palm trees and leafy shrubs.

A girl in the foreground wears a red-and-white tie-dyed top over white. Two older women at the right wear cream saris and one wears a blue shawl. Overhead power lines run through the trees.

A group of devotees walks single file along a narrow dirt path through a dry, sparsely grassy forest of tall slender trees under a clear blue sky. Most wear white dhotis and white kurtas or saris, several with orange shawls draped over their shoulders, and some wear rudraksha-style beaded necklaces. The leader in front wears a white kurta and dhoti with orange-saffron wrap, and a man at the right edge walks with hands folded near his chest. The procession appears to be a Girivalam walk around the sacred hill of Tiruvannamalai. No person is clearly identifiable as a person.
