The image captures a group of Sambar deer in a natural, semi-arid wooded area, specifically within Van Vihar National Park in Bhopal, India. The foreground features a partial green metal gate on the right, composed of vertical bars, positioned near a dirt path with scattered reddish stones. Immediately behind this, tall, dry, yellowish-brown grass dominates, intermixed with a low, dense green shrub on the left. In the midground, at least five Sambar deer are visible. One prominent adult stag with short antlers stands on the right, facing slightly towards the viewer, exhibiting a light brown coat. Two additional deer, also light brown, are positioned to its left and slightly behind, appearing to walk or graze. Another lighter-colored deer is partially obscured by the foreground shrub on the far left, and one more head is visible further back. The background is characterized by numerous deciduous trees with full, green canopies and dark trunks, growing on dry, light brown ground. Beneath the trees on the right, a substantial, conical stack of hay or dried fodder is present. The scene is illuminated by natural daylight.
