Outdoor photo of a flock of sheep crossing a dusty village road in daylight, kicking up dust. Two people in orange-red robes walk among the sheep on the right, one with a shawl over the shoulders. Behind them stands a small multicoloured temple with a tiered tower and blue-and-white tiled walls, beside an orange building with a striped awning, palm trees and a white-washed wall with brick stacks. Several people in the background near the temple, and a few tiny figures further back.
