The subject is a procession of noble ladies carrying flowers, and attended by female servants, all moving in the direction of the Pidurāngala Buddhist temple to the north of the hill, as if about to make offerings at that shrine. All the figures are fully clothed from the waist downwards in coloured *kambaiyas*, and above the waist in short-sleeved jackets made of the finest material, and in some cases barely indicated by a line of deeper colour.
