An elephant carries a figure in a red-draped howdah along a dusty road under a clear blue sky. A seated rider in saffron-orange robes and an orange cap sits in the howdah, holding its railing with dark gloves. The mahout in a white shirt and yellow turban sits on the elephant's neck, gesturing upward toward overhead power lines. The howdah cloth is red with gold trim and a shield emblem with a bird. A bare tree, distant hills and a figure in a dark jacket on the right complete the scene.
