A group of men walks across a dry, grassy field toward a rocky hill topped with a small structure. Two figures at the centre front wear orange-saffron robes; the one nearer the middle has long dark hair and a red-orange garment with a red beaded necklace, and appears to be a candidate for a person, though the appearance is uncertain. Around them, men in white shirts and dhotis, pale shirts and trousers, and a yellow-green shirt walk alongside, some with lanyards. A single-storey white building stands at the left edge and a small tree grows at right. A pale concrete path runs along the bottom of the frame.
