A large outdoor crowd gathers on a dirt clearing in a steep mountain valley under cloudy skies, with rocky cliffs and a small village of stone and tin-roofed houses behind them. Many people wear orange shawls or orange scarves, and several wear orange caps or orange and white turbans. Some stand with hands pressed together in namaste, others clap and sway, and a few dance in a loose circle. A man in a dark jacket with a camera on his shoulder stands at the right edge filming. A white concrete structure and a wire fence sit to the left, with a utility pole in the foreground. The scene appears to be a devotional gathering during a Himalayan pilgrimage.
