A smiling young person in the centre wears an orange garment, a rudraksha mala, a red tilak on the forehead and a patterned wrap; the appearance is not a confident match for the page's claim, so the figure is described by role as a devotee. Several other passengers in orange and white clothing sit around them, some smiling or looking toward the front. The scene reads as a pilgrimage journey.2011-07-31
