A group of about twenty visitors walks barefoot along a busy city street in Varanasi, past yellow colonial-style buildings, parked cars and cycle rickshaws. Most wear white kurta or salwar outfits with red-and-brown shawls draped over the shoulder and orange-red beaded necklaces. In the foreground a woman with curly brown hair in a white outfit and white scarf carries a patterned bag, while a woman in a white outfit with an orange shoulder bag walks beside her. Several signs above the street show Hindi text and a sign reads Girjadhar. Two men in white walk in the group, and a young boy in a white shirt and grey trousers follows at right.
