A dusty street scene in a town market area. Left, a roadside stall displays hanging orange and red garlands and cloth. A signboard reads LEELA FANCY HALL with deity images. In the centre, several people walk across an open dirt plaza, including a man in a checked shirt and white dhoti, a man in white shirt and dhoti tending a large iron cooking vessel on a stand, and women in saris. Auto-rickshaws, bicycles and a white truck are parked nearby. Behind them stands a small domed structure with a blue dome, a tall arch banner, and hoardings showing a portrait of a bearded white-turbaned figure and a smiling man in sunglasses. People are visible, but none are clearly the subject of the scene.
