A large group of men walks uphill over dry, grassy ground on a hillside, with a rocky slope and scrub behind them. At the centre, a figure in a saffron-orange robe with long dark hair and a long dark rudraksha mala walks barefoot-style in sandals, with other saffron-robed attendants beside them. Most surrounding men wear white shirts and dhotis or light trousers, while others wear checked and blue shirts. One man on the right carries a camera in a dark bag. Several school-uniformed boys in blue shirts stand on the slope above. The scene reads as a walking procession across hillside terrain, with a person candidate in saffron clothing and rudraksha mala among the walkers.
