The end of the hunt was celebrated with a dinner, music, and entertainment. Hunting was not just a sport. Elephants and horses were carefully chosen as were the harnesses and fabrics they wore. The great numbers of Kotah paintings depicting hunts attest to the importance of hunting in the life of the court. The ruler's hunting prowess was identified with his power as head of state.
Trees fill the painting, almost camouflaging the figures.
The ground is a sandy color. A number of lions have been chased into an area enclosed by a low fence. The beaters, with swords upraised, can be seen in the center of the right-hand side of the painting. Above and below them large groups of courtiers can be seen riding. Most are mounted on horses but two ride atop elephants.
