A photograph of a narrow white-walled lane beside a temple-style building, with a tree and string lights overhead. A group of about ten people walks along the concrete path. Several men wear saffron/orange robes, and a woman in an orange sari with a white head covering walks in the centre. A man in a white shirt and white dhoti walks at the front left, and a small boy in a red shirt stands near a wall. A sannyasi in a long orange robe with long hair walks at right, barefoot, appearing to lead or accompany the group. Shops and signboards line the street in the background. Whether any individual is a person cannot be determined from appearance alone.
