A crowded roadside scene in daylight under a cloudy sky. A large crowd of mostly men in white shirts and dhotis presses together on a road lined with trees, a utility pole and parked cars. Near the centre, a man wearing an orange turban and orange garment stands among the crowd, partly visible. Several men raise their hands, and one arm stretches upward at the left. Vehicles, including a white car and a parked truck, sit along the road in the background, with a palm tree and a building at right. A small advertising sign for Apollo is fixed to the pole.
