A large group of approximately 40 to 50 individuals, predominantly adult males identified as Buddhist monks by their dark red or maroon robes and shaven heads, are depicted descending a flight of stone steps from an ornate building entrance within Chengguan District, China. The entrance features a white and multi-colored striped canopy (white, orange, blue, purple, black patterns) under a red-tiled roof. A golden, spherical ornament hangs from the eaves above the entrance. White building walls are visible beneath the roofline, with information boards featuring Chinese script affixed to the left wall. Green deciduous foliage partially obscures the upper left and right areas of the scene. On the far left, a woman in dark traditional clothing, possibly a chuba, with a dark head covering, is visible on the steps, holding a white object. Another individual with light brown hair is partially visible in the upper right portion of the entranceway. In the immediate foreground, the top of a person's head wearing a light-colored hat is visible, indicating proximity to the descending procession. The monks are walking closely together in a downward motion; one monk in the lower central foreground holds a string of prayer beads in his right hand. The scene is well-lit by natural light.
