The scene depicts a horse-drawn carriage (tonga) parked on a dirt path adjacent to a paved road segment in Kolhapur, India, specifically near the New Palace as indicated by a blue banner. The central subject is an orange-painted tonga with large spoked wheels and a black retractable canopy. A light brown horse, harnessed to the carriage with orange fabric accents, stands with its head lowered, appearing to graze on sparse green grass and dirt. A single individual, partially visible in a white shirt, is seated within the carriage, likely the driver. The background features numerous deciduous trees with green foliage and visible trunks, casting shadows. Behind the trees, several single-story buildings with red-tiled roofs and light-colored walls are discernible. Two prominent banners are present: a red one on the left promoting "Palace Cafe" with "Unlimited Vegetarian Meals" and indicating that "Orders for excursions will be accepted" (in Marathi), and a blue one on the right advertising "Maharaja Shahaji Chhatrapati Zoo Trust Palace Cafe" and a Pepsi product featuring a man drinking from a bottle. The ground surface consists of packed reddish-brown dirt with some scattered green grass and debris, including yellow plastic packets. A clear, light blue sky is visible through the tree canopy.
