A photograph of a crowd on a misty hillside village at Kedarnath, under heavy cloud. A man in an orange turban and orange clothing is held beneath a large yellow plastic sheet raised overhead as rain cover, with pilgrims pressed close around him. Grey corrugated-roof stone buildings, green slopes and brass bells hanging from a yellow pipe frame the scene. A hand in the lower left grips the yellow sheet. The turbaned man's face is partly obscured, so his identity cannot be confirmed from appearance; the orange turban is the only distinctive cue and is shared by many pilgrims here.
