A photograph of an outdoor dirt road in an open area with trees and a red wall in the background. Two long lines of people face each other, many shaved-headed and dressed in white robes and white or light-coloured trousers, with their palms pressed together in greeting or prayer. One man near the centre-right wears a bright orange-saffron shirt with checked shorts and sandals, and stands out among the white-clad figures. A thin pale dog with brown patches walks along the road in the foreground. Further back on the left, another group of people in white carries items overhead.
