A photograph of two long lines of devotees standing on either side of a dirt track through flat, freshly tilled farmland under a cloudy sky. The people wear white traditional clothes: women in white saris with gold-yellow borders, men in white shirts and white dhotis. Some wear small pendants or necklaces. Hills, power lines and palm trees lie in the distance. No one wearing an orange or saffron robe is clearly identifiable as the a person in this image; the page notes he was not at this event. The scene resembles a ceremonial procession or welcome line along the path.
