Summary:
Description: Buddhists in traditional dress, headdresses and cymbals resting. Personal caption: "Buddhists with the parasol and the howdah they carried in a procession up the Himalayan Mountains at Darjeeling. Lieutenant William Hughes earlier had seen the procession winding up a mountain trail below Darjeeling and the marchers actually walked up through the clouds. The first time Lt. Hughes knew they were in the vicinity was when he saw two human hands (belonging to one of the Buddhist monks) reaching up through the clouds in supplication. It was a startling and awesome sight. Marchers in the procession resting after they reached the business area of Darjeeling." Darjeeling, India.
