Outdoor rural road scene in flat farmland with green paddy fields and palm trees. At left stands a roadside shrine: a small open-sided pavilion with a domed birdcage-like top over a raised platform, where a figure in a pale grey-blue sari with a headscarf sweeps or tends the platform. Beside it is a tall pillar-like signboard with a painted portrait of a woman in green and a dark text panel. Near the centre a striped yellow-blue-red flag flies from a pole beside a dirt track, and a small black-and-white dog walks across the paved road. Small pools of water lie on the grass at right.
