A large group of devotees in saffron-orange robes walks along a paved riverside path in a hill town, with a rocky riverbed of pale stones to the left and multistorey buildings with signboards behind. The front figure, a woman with long dark hair, wears an orange shawl, a beaded mala and a gold necklace. Others follow in orange shawls and orange caps, some carrying bags. A lone figure in orange robes walks along the red-tiled walkway on the right. The scene suggests a yatra procession through Gangotri. A sign on a building reads Bhagirathi Sadan.
