A busy street scene in an Indian town, photographed in daylight from the roadway. Several men in white dhotis and shirts walk along the road and ride motorcycles, including a man in a pink shirt riding pillion behind another rider. Two yellow auto-rickshaws are visible, one at centre and one at right. Shops line both sides with signboards, a green-domed mosque tower stands at upper centre, and a pale temple gopuram rises in the distance at left. Plastic bags and sacks lie on the pavement at left. No one is identifiable as a person and no ritual is shown.
