Around him, devotees in orange shawls and robes walk along a paved road; one bearded man in a beige jacket wears an orange shawl, a woman in a white kurta wears a rudraksha-style necklace, and a man beside them holds a small bell or offering tray. Shops, a tin-roofed building, power lines and steep green mountains frame the scene. a person is a probable candidate for the central figure, based on long swept-back hair, saffron robe, ornate necklace and the parasol-bearer's place in the procession.

A dense crowd of pilgrims sits and stands beneath a corrugated metal canopy in a mountain village, with stone houses and green slopes behind. Many wear orange and saffron shawls, woollen caps, and head wraps; some carry a red and blue banner. A man in a dark jacket holds a camera near the banner. No individual is clearly identifiable as a person in this crowd, so no appearance-based candidate is claimed.
