Nandalal preferred drawing from life, often sketching outdoors with the subject being life, nature studies, landscapes, figure drawings and animals. In the above print, the artist has depicted a procession in which men and women are walking carrying a canopy, sacred pots over the head, musical instruments and food. The composition is rendered with firm yet fluid lines gauged on the linoleum sheet and printed on a plain surface, creating a dramatic contrast of black and white image, resulting in an effective means of documenting the royal procession.
