A photograph of a narrow stone passage cut between two tall rocky cliff walls, with wet grey rock and green moss on the left and a path of grass and mud underfoot. Several men stand together near a dark cave-like arched opening in the distance. A figure in the centre wears a long orange-yellow garment draped over one shoulder, with long dark hair, facing the entrance. Beside him a man in saffron robes and another in a white dhoti and shirt stand close together. On the right, a cameraman in a maroon shirt films the group with a handheld video camera on his shoulder. The scene appears to be a visit to a cave temple on a rocky hillside.
