A group of about fifteen devotees walks single file along a dry, reddish dirt path through scrubby bushes and boulders, with palm trees and distant hills behind them. Most wear white dhotis or sarees; several women wear green, yellow, or orange saris. Two figures in front, one in a white garment with orange shawl and one in an orange robe, lead the group. Sparse green trees and a clear sky complete the rural setting.
