A black-and-white line drawing painted on a white wall, showing a palanquin with a pointed finial and curtains, carrying a seated woman in a long garment who holds an object and gestures. Two male bearers in dhotis and turbans carry the palanquin on poles, one on each side, and a horse's mane is visible at the left edge. Decorative patterns and stylised lion-like faces decorate the palanquin panels. Grass and shrubs grow at the base of the wall. The image is a mural-style drawing, not a photograph of people, and a wooden doorframe with carving is visible at the right.
