A street scene in a South Indian town on a sunny day, with a tree-lined road crowded with traffic. Yellow auto-rickshaws, a white minivan with a small portrait displayed in its windscreen, a green bus, and two-wheelers fill the road. Several people stand near a low white gate with a red-and-white wall sign at left, and a procession of people on bicycles and motorbikes with white flags moves toward the centre of the frame. Overhead power lines and a tall utility pole line the right side, and a banner hangs from a pole at the far right. The timestamp 20 10 2006 appears in the lower right corner.
