Photograph taken through a vehicle windshield of a busy mountain road on the Kedarnath pilgrimage route. A large green signboard overhead reads a welcome message in Hindi for Kedarnath Dham yatra travellers from the Seema Sadak Sangathan. A white Toyota Innova with a Uttarakhand registration plate drives forward past roadside shops selling goods and a yellow-and-blue sign pointing to Gaurikund. Several men stand and walk along the roadside, some seated near stalls, and one man in a blue shirt and grey trousers walks across the road carrying a bag. Luggage and bags sit on the ground at left, and dense green forested hills rise behind the buildings.
