A telephoto photograph of a steep, densely forested Himalayan hillside with a mossy rock face on the right. On a narrow concrete path bordered by a metal railing, a group of about ten people in mixed clothing stands near a dark tarpaulin shelter cut into the rock. Further down, two figures in orange and saffron robes stand on a lower ledge beside a grey tarpaulin tent, with a woman in blue nearby. A metal loudspeaker horn is mounted on a wooden post, and a painted concrete wall with partly visible Devanagari lettering sits at the bottom. Scattered debris and a silver pot lie on the terrace. No identifiable a person is clearly visible; the orange-clad figures are unidentified devotees or sadhus.
