A photograph of a group walking along a dirt path through dry scrubland and green trees, apparently a pilgrimage circumambulation. In the foreground, a young man in an orange draped cloth walks with bare arms and sandals, and beside him another man in an orange kurta and orange dhoti walks with long hair. Behind them a man in a white dhoti and orange-red shawl with a red tilak on his forehead walks, followed by several women in white and cream saris and white tops, and further back more people in white. Foliage and thorny bushes frame the trail.
