A painted mural scene of a rural forest setting with a thatched-roof hut at left and a large tree behind. Six figures stand together in orange dhoti-style garments with pearl necklaces, belts and armlets. The central figure, taller and at the center, wears a gold crown and an ornate golden belt, and stands with the others in a group with arms folded or hands clasped. The figures appear to be part of a painted narrative tableau rather than physical people, with hills and greenery in the background.
