Detailed Description
This rectangular image features a scene above a block of text, all framed by a red border with white floral motifs. The upper two-thirds of the image depict a procession of figures and animals against a light blue sky. On the far left, two large trees with dark, leafy canopies and white blossoms stand above a cluster of green, yellow, and dark mounds. Below these trees, several yellow-skinned figures, dressed in white loincloths and some with red sashes, move towards the right. Some figures hold sticks or bows, appearing to interact with a mix of white, brown, and black dogs and brown and white cows. The procession continues across the middle ground, with more yellow-skinned figures, some carrying smaller figures or children, and others holding sticks. A diverse group of dogs and cows, varying in size and color, accompanies them, all moving in the same direction. Small black text labels are visible above some figures, including "एतेमेवः" in the middle, and "श्रीरामः" and "दशरथः" towards the right. On the far right, a dark blue-skinned figure leads a group of figures, including one with white skin, and others carrying objects or children. The ground beneath the procession is depicted as a wavy line of stylized green, yellow, and dark mounds. The lower third of the image is filled with a dense block of black text in an unfamiliar script, set against a plain white background. The red border with white floral patterns encircles the entire composition.
