Two men walk barefoot along a dirt embankment beside a wide river, carrying tall orange-red wooden kanwar-style shrines decorated with silver tinsel, pink and orange flower garlands, tassels and small framed deity pictures. The man on the left, in a white shirt and holding one arm raised, supports one shrine on his shoulder; the man on the right, in a white shirt and orange shorts, walks with a second shrine. Green trees and a red brick wall stand in the background under an overcast sky.
