An urban street scene in Pokhara, Nepal, depicts two cows resting directly on the asphalt roadway, impeding vehicular traffic. In the foreground, a large, light grey-brown cow lies on its left side, facing right. To its immediate right, a smaller brown and white spotted cow lies on its right side, facing forward and slightly left. Both animals appear calm. Behind the cows, a male individual wearing a black helmet and jacket operates a blue and white scooter, positioned closely behind the cows as part of a line of vehicles. This queue of traffic, consisting of multiple cars and a white van (possibly a microbus), extends into the background. Several vehicles, identifiable as taxis by their yellow roof racks and "TAX" labels, bear Nepali script on their windshields and license plates. The vehicles are either stopped or moving slowly, navigating around the stationary cows. The environment consists of multi-story concrete buildings lining both sides of the street, some showing exposed rebar indicating ongoing construction or incomplete structures. Dense bundles of utility wires are visible on numerous poles. Green trees are interspersed among the buildings. Prayer flags hang from a building on the right, and a green flag is attached to a utility pole. Partial signs for "JAMAPHYA MULTI" and "lish Secondary School" are visible on buildings in the background. The sky is overcast with scattered clouds.
