A photograph of a group of devotees in orange saffron clothing gathered under a black tarpaulin shelter with rough stone and earth walls. In the centre, a man with long dark swept-back hair, a red bindi, an orange shawl and an orange robe holds a long silver or metal rod or tube aloft and smiles. Around him, devotees in orange caps, orange shawls and orange garments clap or sit with palms pressed together in anjali, one woman in black with a rudraksha-style mala and bracelets, another in a grey top, and an older bespectacled man in a white sweater and orange shawl with palms together. A young boy in a blue sweater stands at the back. The mood is devotional and celebratory during a Himalayan yatra.
