Outdoor street scene at a roadside market in India, with small shops selling colourful hanging bags, garments and trinkets behind the walkers. A man with long dark wavy hair wears a saffron-orange kurta, orange dhoti-style wrap and a shoulder cloth, a beaded flower garland around his neck, and white sneakers; he carries a long wooden staff or rod in one hand. Beside and behind him walk several people: a woman in an orange sari with a shawl, a younger woman in a navy sweatshirt with a red lanyard and badge, an older woman in white with a red bindi, and a man in white with sunglasses. The men look like sannyasi-style or devotee attire; the scene appears to be a walking pilgrimage through a town. Dusty road, corrugated roofs and a hazy hillside in the background.
