Photograph of several figures in white dhoti and white garments with orange shawls walking away from the camera along a dusty dirt track across an open, barren field toward a hazy mountain ridge at low sunlight. A small group of sannyasis or devotees heads into the distance, one carrying a white bundle. Dry grass, scattered shrubs and green trees fill the mid-ground under a bright sun flare. Setting appears to be a rural, hilly landscape in Tamil Nadu.
