A dense crowd of pilgrims walks along a wide road at dusk, lit by a row of street lamps. In the foreground a man in a pale striped shirt faces away from the camera, and a woman in a red headscarf and red sweater carries a backpack. Many people carry large bundles, sacks and blankets on their heads and shoulders. On the right, a large roadside billboard shows a painted portrait of a robed figure in an orange turban, partly obscured by the crowd. Red banners and tents line the far side, and a faint purple logo appears at the upper left.
