A daytime street scene in an Indian city: a roundabout with green lawns, flowering shrubs and a large bust statue on a tall pedestal of stone, next to a small edge-lit structure and a low bridge-like arch. Behind it stand multistorey shops and a large vertical advertisement for computers and printers. Buses, cars and a few pedestrians and motorcycles fill the road, and a large tree shades the left side. No people are clearly visible at close range; the bust depicts a man but is a statue, not a physical person.
