Two elephants walk along a paved path at an outdoor park, with a small baby elephant trailing beside the adult. The larger elephant carries a red-and-blue seat with two riders, and its mahout in a blue shirt and green cap guides it with a rope. Behind them a crowd of visitors in red, pink and yellow clothing walks along a dirt path among green shrubs and trees. The scene is an elephant ride and feeding outing rather than a religious ritual, and no one is identified as a person.
