Outdoor roadside scene on a muddy dirt track beside a green field and trees. Several young men in saffron-orange clothing and orange scarves stand and walk with backpacks; one in a red headband and red shirt holds a small water container, another in orange shorts shades his head with a white cloth. A decorated wooden stall with a black tarp and red plastic chairs is at left, with colourful garlands and a ceremonial pole nearby. Appears to be a group of pilgrims on a walking journey.
