Seen from behind, a person with long dark wavy hair climbs a wide flight of grey stone steps toward a white circular stupa with a golden spire. The climber wears a rust-orange draped garment, a leopard-print shawl over one shoulder, and a woven orange-brown belt, and holds up a fold of the cloth with one hand. At the top, a gilded seated Buddha figure sits within a golden arched niche framed by ornate carvings. A second person in white stands near the base of the steps beside the white railings. Overcast sky fills the upper frame.
