Several monastic followers in saffron/orange robes descend a concrete staircase at a hillside temple entrance. A man in the centre wears white dhoti-style clothing with an orange shawl over his shoulder. Yellow and red ribbons hang overhead from a line, and a blue tarp awning shelters the wall beside them. Behind them, forested mountain slopes are visible through an arched opening. Two men in saffron clothing walk in front, one in the foreground wearing an orange robe with a red border. Their appearance does not clearly establish any specific individual, so no candidate is identified; they are presented as monastic devotees.
