A figure in an orange saffron shawl over a white knitted sweater stands with palms pressed together in prayer, seen from behind against a rushing white-water river. Beyond the river, a hillside town rises with a multi-tiered temple gopuram topped by a red flag, white-walled buildings, tin-roofed shops and a crowd of pilgrims on stone steps. A younger person in an orange garment at the lower right holds a compact camera. Green mountains frame the scene under bright daylight.
