A photograph of a crowd of devotees gathered at the entrance of a small white shrine with green trim and a green metal gate beside it, set among trees and a rocky hillside. Many people wear white clothes with orange-saffron shawls draped over their shoulders. A man in the foreground on the left has a moustache and orange shawl; a woman in the right foreground has a long dark braid and wears gold earrings. Several men and women crowd through the shrine doorway, one man in a white dhoti and shawl leading them inside, while others stand under the trees holding bags. The setting suggests a pilgrimage or darshan at a hillside shrine.
