A group of about twenty women and a few men walk along a dirt path beside dry scrubland and a palm tree, on what looks like a hill-side track. Most women wear white saris with gold or yellow borders and white necklaces; one woman in the centre wears a white kurta and white trousers. On the right, a young man in a saffron-orange robe and sandals stands at the front, with a red shawl-clad man in white and another in orange kurta behind him. On the left edge a man in white with a yellow shawl stands near a stone post. Rough stones and small pillars are scattered on the ground.
