A large procession of devotees walks along a narrow paved path between green grass verges and tall trees under an overcast sky. In front, two men carry ornate yellow-fringed ceremonial banners with a red and blue emblem bearing a white bird, and another man in an orange shawl holds a trident-like staff. Many devotees wear saffron-orange robes and orange shawls, some with rudraksha malas. Behind them, a decorated umbrella-style parasol is carried above the group, and on the right a foreign woman in a dark top and backpack walks among them. The scene suggests a devotional yatra in the Himalayan foothills.
