Alongside a highway in the vast wilderness of the plateau, several devotees perform pilgrimage prostrations in various postures. Dressed in simple attire, against the backdrop of vast mountains and expansive skies, their pious movements embody their unwavering devotion to their faith. The black-and-white imagery further accentuates the purity and resilience of this faith.
