Detailed Description
This rectangular image shows an outdoor scene on a flat green ground, framed by a thin red border. In the upper left, a white, open-sided building with a balcony contains several seated men, most wearing turbans. One central figure has a red circular shape behind his head. Below the balcony, two lines of text are visible: "महाराजा श्री मानसिंहजी" and "महाराजा श्री मानसिंहजी". To the upper right, a diagonal line of soldiers in red tunics and white trousers, holding rifles, marches forward. Behind them, several men on horseback, some riding white and brown horses, also move to the right. The lower half of the image is filled with various groups of figures. On the left, several women in colorful skirts and tops are dancing, some with their arms raised. One woman in an orange skirt performs a balancing act atop a tall, slender pole supported by ropes held by two men below. Nearby, musicians play a drum and a long horn. Towards the center and right, more figures are seen, including couples embracing and individuals standing in groups. On the far right, a procession of three large, gray elephants, each elaborately adorned with colorful textiles in red, yellow, and blue patterns, carries riders on their backs. The overall color palette includes bright reds, oranges, yellows, blues, and greens.
