A group walks along a rocky dirt path through green hillside scrub, apparently a circumambulation around Arunachala Hill. In the foreground a young man in saffron-orange robes with a draped shawl walks ahead, hands on his hips. Behind him a woman in an orange-scarfed white sari with gold borders and a beaded necklace walks in a line with other women in white saris, and a woman in an orange top and dhoti-style lower garment follows at right. A figure in white clothing stands at far left holding a water bottle. No identification of the orange-robed man is made from appearance; he is described by role only as a walking devotee.
