Two people in saffron robes lead, one holding an orange umbrella overhead, and another person in a white robe walks alongside. Behind them a man in white shirt and white dhoti walks, and a man in white carries a yellow umbrella on the right. A man in a white shirt and white dhoti walks at the right edge of the path. Small rocks lie beside the track. Among the group, the walker in orange robes and white-clad companions move in a procession-like formation, one raising a hand in greeting.
