A large crowd of devotees walks along a shaded forest path under tall trees and leafy green branches. Many wear white clothing with saffron-orange shawls draped over their shoulders. Several people in the front rows hold their hands together in namaskar or touch their faces, and a man at right holds a camera. No individual can be clearly identified as the a person, so no a person candidate is described; the scene appears to be a devotional procession or girivalam walk at a Tiruvannamalai ashram setting.
