A street scene in an Indian town on a gravelly road. In the foreground a woman in an orange saffron-coloured robe and white sneakers, with long dark wavy hair and a gold ornament on her chest, leans forward and bends over a small pile of offerings or a coconut on the ground. Around her a crowd of about ten men stand watching, some in grey sweatshirts, jackets and trousers, one in a maroon sweater. An older woman in a navy jacket and white skirt with an orange shawl presses her palms together in namaskar. Behind them are shops with signs for STD/ISD PCO, mobile phone and travel services, and a parked-up roadside row of buildings. a person cues: long swept hair and saffron robes with a gold ornament on the orange-clad figure.
