A photograph of a procession in a mountain town during rain, with green hills and tin-roofed buildings behind. A central man in saffron-orange robes and a saffron turban wears long dark hair, a dense rudraksha mala and a large gold pendant, and is sheltered under a yellow and blue cloth held aloft by men on either side. Several other men in orange robes surround him, one holding a cane and another holding a small brass bell. In the foreground a woman in a black head covering, orange shawl and black rain jacket, with a red forehead mark, looks down. The date 21-6-2004 is printed vertically on the left edge.

A man in an orange turban and orange clothing is held beneath a large yellow plastic sheet raised overhead as rain cover, with pilgrims pressed close around him. Grey corrugated-roof stone buildings, green slopes and brass bells hanging from a yellow pipe frame the scene. A hand in the lower left grips the yellow sheet. The turbaned man's face is partly obscured, so his identity cannot be confirmed from appearance; the orange turban is the only distinctive cue and is shared by many pilgrims here.2004-06-21May 30 20062006-05-30A procession of devotees in orange shawls walks along a mountain road with snow-capped peaks and green slopes behind them.
