A photograph of a campsite at dusk on open grassland, with large grey-green tents and parked vehicles behind. Around twenty people in warm layered winter clothing, knit caps, balaclavas and bright blue, orange and red jackets stand and sit in a loose group. A figure in the centre is seated on a red plastic chair, wrapped in a leopard-print blanket with an orange hood, and wearing orange trousers and boots. A metal flask and a red gas cylinder sit on the grass nearby. A red flag is visible at the tent line. The scene suggests a Kailash Yatra pilgrim camp in the cold evening.
