Photograph of a roadside procession on a hilly mountain road. In the foreground, a long-haired man in a loose orange saffron robe with bare shoulder walks forward, and beside him a man in orange robes carries a bundle and wears a rudraksha-style mala. Behind them, a woman in teal salwar kameez with an orange scarf and a man in an orange shawl walk among devotees; a parked white van with a blue tarpaulin on its roof is behind. A few people in white shirts and orange wraps are visible. The photo appears to be from a yatra, with no visible text on the scene itself. Appearance cues are only partly distinctive, so identification of the long-haired robed man is uncertain.
