A crowd of people packed into a narrow mountain street in Kedarnath, seen from above. Several sadhus with ash-smeared faces and matted hair wear orange and saffron shawls, one with a red headband and one in a brown felt hat. Men in caps, a white baseball cap and a green jacket stand among them. A balcony with a red-and-white railing overlooks the scene, and marigold garlands hang at the left beside a wooden post with a cloth banner. Corrugated roofs and stone walls frame the lane.
