A village street in Kuttiyankuppam, Pondicherry, after cyclone damage. A pale concrete road runs left to right past a row of low houses with orange, cream and yellow walls and tiled roofs. Two men sit on a step at the left, and a man in a white shirt and a man on a motorcycle stand near the road. Fallen trees, cut branches and debris line the right verge beside tall palms and stone gateposts. Stacked firewood or coconut husks lie beside the left building, and red cloth hangs from a rooftop pole.
