A group walks single file along a dusty, rocky dirt path through scrubby green trees toward a hillside of rock outcrops and green slopes under a pale sky. In front, a young man in an orange dhoti-style wrap and red top, wearing orange sandals, walks with his hand gathering his robe.

Behind them, several women in white saris with gold borders and one in a pink sari walk in a line.
