Several women walk single file along a dirt path beneath trees toward a white building with a bamboo fence. The foreground woman wears a white sari with orange border and red-pink floral print, a black bindi and a black beaded necklace, and carries a small white cloth-wrapped bundle cradled in both hands. Behind her, a woman in a white sari with grey-blue border and another in a white and grey patterned sari also carry white bundles. Marigold petals lie along the path edge. Their steady pace and lowered gaze suggest a devotional procession toward an offering.
