A street scene in a South Indian town with a tall, thatched-looking structure wrapped in dried palm or straw matting and held up by bamboo poles and scaffolding, standing beside a low cream-walled building with a lattice window. A green-and-white Tamil signboard hangs on a shop front, and a tall gopuram temple tower rises in the background on the right beside power lines and a passing truck. A stone lingam-like stone sits on the grass by a drainage channel. No people are visible.
