Outdoor photograph on the Kailash pilgrimage route in a high barren valley of rock and sparse green grass, with a snow-capped peak rising in the background. A large group of pilgrims sits on the stony ground in a circle, many wearing orange shawls and scarves, with warm jackets in red, blue, green and black and wide-brimmed hats. Two standing figures stand at the front in orange and blue; one in an orange robe with an orange shawl stands at the centre-left, appearing to address the group. A cairn of stacked stones sits to the left, and a small stream runs across the valley floor on the right.
