A man in a white shirt stands at left, a young man in a yellow shirt and others watch from the side, and a hand is raised at right. Beyond them, a hillside staircase is packed with many people climbing toward a temple with red-and-white walls and domed shikhara towers under a cloudy sky, with blue tents and a red-tiled roof at left. The figure's face is not visible, so no candidate can be confirmed from appearance.
