Three people stand near it: a woman in a white top with dark hair tied back and a pink hair tie, seen from behind at left; a man in a cream kurta and white dhoti in the centre, reaching down with one hand; and a figure with long, curly dark hair wearing a flowing saffron-orange robe at right, leaning forward to hold something low near the elephant. Dry palm fronds lie on the ground, with a concrete wall, palm trees and utility poles behind.
