A large spreading tree with dense green foliage dominates an open dusty street in an Indian town. Beneath and beside it, a white Mahindra-style SUV with an orange-and-yellow stripe and a spare tyre on its rear door is parked, next to a blue-and-green auto-rickshaw whose driver sits in white clothing. Two men in light shirts stand near the rickshaw, a hand-pulled cart sits at right, and small shops and a low concrete building line the background under a hazy white sky. No deity, puja or ritual is visible; the scene is a roadside travel stop.
