Village street scene with terracotta-tiled single-storey houses, palm trees and a sandy ground. A shaven-headed man in white dhoti and a striped cloth bag, with a bare upper body, raises a folded white paper in one hand while walking forward. Around him, men in lungis and checked shirts and many children gather and watch. On the right, a woman in a green sari and another in a blue-patterned sari bend over sweeping with brooms, while a girl in a red top sits nearby, and metal basins sit on the ground. The men and boys form a loose procession past the houses.

Several men wear white shirts with lungis or sarongs in blue and white stripes, while others wear checked shirts, a green shirt, light blue shirt and a shirtless man in red shorts. They gather around a heap of debris and a torn white sack, one man bending to pull material from it, as if clearing storm wreckage. No a person candidate is visible; the scene shows volunteers doing cleanup work.2012-01-03January 03 20122012-01-03A dusty village lane by the sea after a cyclone. Damaged thatched huts, scattered wreckage, a bicycle lying on its side and torn fishing net dominate the scene. A group of about twenty men, women and children in white shirts, red shirts, sarees and dhotis stands clustered together in the centre, some holding small items, while others stand along the road.

Behind them, women in saris, including an older woman in a pink and orange sari holding a steel bowl, and several children look on. A small metal vessel rests on the ground.

A man in an orange saffron robe with a long rudraksha mala and a vibhuti-marked forehead walks forward on dirt ground, with a man in a red and white athletic shirt and dark trousers just beside him. Several boys and men in white shirts and light clothes crowd close around them, one man in a white headcloth and white shirt wearing a beaded necklace at the right edge. The orange-robed man's appearance is consistent with a presentation the page associates with a person, but the cues are limited to the robe and mala, so identity is uncertain.2012-01-06
