The scene depicts a concrete staircase ascending an incline in Anapirandan, India, with four macaques present. The multi-tiered, weathered concrete stairs feature white railings and lead upwards into dense green and brown foliage. At the top of the stairs, partially obscured by branches, a red and white bicycle is visible. In the foreground, a macaque with light brown fur is hunched over a circular pile of black and white ashes and burnt debris on the dirt ground, seemingly inspecting or foraging. To its immediate left, another macaque sits upright on a lower concrete step, facing right. Further up the staircase, a third macaque is positioned on a landing step, facing right. A fourth macaque sits on a step slightly higher than the third, near the right railing, facing left. The ground around the base of the stairs is covered with dry leaves, dirt, and sparse green vegetation. The right side of the image is bordered by thick vegetation, while the left shows more open ground with scattered dry foliage. The sky is faintly visible through the tree canopy at the top. No human individuals are visible.
