A large outdoor group of devotees stands on a dirt clearing in front of steep green mountain slopes and snow-capped Himalayan peaks under a cloudy sky. Many people wear orange saffron shawls and orange-and-black clothing, and several raise their arms and hands high in an enthusiastic gesture. A white-robed figure with grey hair stands near the centre-right in a green jacket, and a woman with long blonde hair stands nearby. Low buildings, a wire fence and utility poles sit at the edge of the valley.
