A rural mountain pilgrimage scene beside a red-painted stone shrine building with a red pyramidal spire at left. A crowd of roughly two dozen people walks and stands along a narrow stone path behind orange metal railings. Several riders sit on ponies and mules, some with saddle packs; one man in white robes rides at the centre and a figure in an orange shawl holds an orange umbrella. Many people wear orange or saffron wraps, white dhotis and kurtas, and colourful tunics. To the right a black tarpaulin shelters stalls and bundled goods, and tangled green foliage fills the foreground above a stone retaining wall with scattered litter.
