A busy street scene in an Indian town, with a woman seen from behind in a white and orange top and long braid walking past shops and shuttered buildings. Two tall vertical street banners hang from a utility pole; the nearer banner shows a saffron-clad figure with a wrapped orange head covering and raised hand against a glowing orange background, with Tamil lettering reading 'தியான சத்சங்கம்' (Dhyana Satsangam, meditation satsang). A second, smaller banner with a similar figure hangs further along. Men stand and ride motorbikes and a three-wheeler along the road under hazy skies and overhead wires. Only the banner figures are depicted; the depicted figure appears as a person depiction on a banner.
