A photograph of a group walking along a dusty dirt path across open, uneven red-brown earth with mounds and scattered stones, backed by a low green hill and leafy trees under a pale sky. Two young men in saffron-orange robes lead the way, one in front in a long orange cloth and the other beside him in orange with an orange cloth over the shoulder. Behind them a line of people in white dhotis and saris, some with orange, red, yellow and green shawls or borders, walks in procession. The scene suggests a devotional walk around the sacred hill.
