In Bhopal, India, a male lion with a tawny coat and a full golden-brown mane lies prone on an elevated wooden platform constructed from rustic logs. Its body is stretched horizontally, with its forelegs extended over the platform's edge. The lion's head is turned to the right, gazing into the distance. Behind the lion, a chain-link fence is visible, separating the enclosure from a background featuring sparse, dry vegetation and reddish-brown ground. A section of a green barrier or fence is present on the far right of the frame. A lower, similar wooden structure is partially visible beneath the main platform. The scene is outdoors, under daylight.
