A dusty roadside settlement with several outdoor pool tables set on gravel. Men in jackets and caps, one in a cream hat, lean over cues while others stand watching along a road lined with string prayer flags and small shops with low stone walls. A white van is parked on the road, and a dog wanders near the tables. A red sign reads a farmers' mountain house and a hanging blue sign reads a shop name. No saffron-robed or ceremonially dressed figure is visible.
