A narrow stone-paved market lane in a Himalayan hill town, lined with small shopfronts under tarpaulins and corrugated awnings. Snow-capped mountains rise behind a temple tower at the lane's end. Stalls sell marigold garlands, flower offerings and red and orange items. Several men stand and walk along the lane: one in a striped sweater and dark trousers, another in a beige sweater and white dhoti, and a man in an orange cloth. A small boy in a grey jacket stands near a white plastic chair. A printed sign on the left reads a Hindi-language shop name. No identifiable a person is visible.
