A photograph of a long line of people standing behind a wooden pole barrier along a dirt road, with banana plants and tall palm-frond poles decorating the barrier and strings of mango leaves hanging from a wire overhead. Men in white shirts and white dhotis stand at the front, one in a yellow jacket and another in a light blue shirt; women in saris, including a teal and a yellow one, stand among them, and a few children are in the foreground. They are watching in the same direction, apparently waiting for an event to pass along the road. Clear sky and a low hill appear in the background.
