A group of about eight women walks along a dirt road in a rural, open landscape under an overcast sky. Several wear white saris with gold borders and others wear orange-saffron shawls over white, and some carry long thin poles or staffs upright. The woman in front wears a white sari and appears to be holding a small object near her face. Scrubby trees, low grass and a single-storey beige building with an orange-red roof stand in the background, with bare rocky hills beyond. A blue tarpaulin is visible at the far left edge.
