Photograph of a hillside stone path in the Himalayas with a mossy retaining wall on the right and a tarpaulin shelter above. A group of men walks uphill; in front, a young man in a pale yellow sweater vest and white shirt carries a backpack. Behind him, a man carries an orange flag on a pole, several men wear orange rain ponchos and white dhotis, and a man in a teal sweater rides on a wooden stretcher or palanquin carried by two others. A smiling man in a bright blue kurta with an orange shawl and a red tilak stands in the middle of the procession. Metal railings and red posts line the steps.
