A large crowd of devotees climbs a steep stairway cut between tall granite boulders, with blue-painted steps and a metal railing guiding the line. Many people wear white, saffron, pink, blue and yellow clothes; a young man in a peach shirt stands at the rail with his arm folded, and a woman in a light blue sari smiles nearby. Striped red and white painted rock faces and a red-and-white striped shrine entrance frame the path, with dense green trees above. Visible people number well over twenty, so the count is 21-100.
