A photograph of a mountain river valley in the Himalayas with tall conifers and steep slopes. A large crowd of people in orange and saffron clothing stands on and around boulders and a fallen log beside fast white water. Some are wading or bathing in the shallow river, some sit on rocks, and one figure in the centre raises a hand and sprays water into the air. Several white tour buses are parked along the far bank near tents. Many devotees wear orange dhotis, saris and shawls, and a few women wear blue and pink garments. The scene is a yatra stop with the group relaxing and playing in the stream.
