A photograph of a cyclone-damaged village street in Kuttiyankuppam, Pondicherry. A boy in a red, black and white striped polo shirt stands with his back to the camera, facing an older woman in a teal-blue striped sari and green blouse who smiles and carries a metal pot. Behind them, thatched roofs are torn and collapsed, with dried palm fronds and debris piled beside a whitewashed wall and a red-tiled house. A child in a striped shirt walks in the background, and a figure stands on a rooftop at the upper left.
