A roadside gathering of people lines a dusty street in daylight, with a white minibus parked behind them and rows of motorcycles along the right side. Many men wear white dhotis and white shirts, and one man in the foreground on the right wears a pink shirt and a saffron-orange shawl over his shoulder. Several women in saris stand among them, including one in a blue sari on the right and others in pink and purple at the left. A small child stands near the centre. Behind them, a roadside stall with blue and red signboards and a flower-decorated arch stands beside a tree-lined street with shops. The crowd appears to be watching something passing along the road.
