Outdoor scene on a rocky mountain trek with green hillside, parked vehicles, tarpaulin shelters and tin-roofed huts. A man with long, swept-back dark hair in an orange robe and orange shawl raises his right hand in greeting while holding a long staff; he appears to be a person candidate, marked by long hair and saffron clothing, though the face is partly obscured. Around him, orange-clad devotees in orange shirts and saffron shawls carry wooden poles and a wooden litter or palanquin bundled with rope across their shoulders, while other people in ordinary clothes stand nearby. Pack animals and a pedestrian are visible in the background.
