Several people walk down the cobblestoned street in front of the Amber Fort near Jaipur, India. One person, a woman in a yellow sari, is carrying a cloth-wrapped bundle on her head. On the right side of the street, there are two elephants with men on their backs walking beside a wall. The elephant in front has had its face decorated with colorful paints. The Amber Fort itself looms on the left. The part closest to the viewer has a cantilevered upper story with decorative brackets. Further away, there are jutting balconies and an octagonal tower with a domed roof. The building is covered in tan stucco.
