Outdoor photo on a pale sandy riverbank beside a wide green river flowing past forested hills under a blue sky with clouds. Three people walk in a line away from the camera in orange and saffron robes: the front figure, a shaved-headed man, holds a bright orange umbrella overhead; the second, shaved-headed, wears orange with gold-trimmed cloth; the third, with long dark hair, wears a deep red-orange wrap. Long shadows fall across the sand, and a few distant people stand near the water on the right.
