A photograph of a figure reclining in a wooden palanquin-style chair carried on poles, at a rocky mountain village setting at Gomukh. The seated figure wears an orange-saffron cloth wrapped over the head like a turban and draped over orange robes, with red gloves and a rudraksha mala at the chest. Men stand and gather around: a man in a dark jacket with red and grey panels, a man in a grey knit cap and olive-green top smiling, a bearded man in an orange shawl at right, and a bearded man in a wool cap and grey shawl at the carrier position. Tents and rough stone surround the scene, with a horse-like animal at left.
