A crowded mountain roadside in the Himalayas on a misty, overcast day. Green forested slopes and terraced fields rise behind a line of people standing along a stone building wall. Several men wear orange and saffron robes, one bearded man in orange has a grey wrap on his head, and an elderly bearded man in a white dhoti wears a bright green rain poncho. Others wear caps, jackets and striped shirts. Wooden poles and bundled cargo are stacked along the edge of the road, and a man in the foreground sits with his hands clasped. Vehicles and more people are visible farther up the road.
