A busy urban street corner in Bengaluru, India, photographed in daylight. On the left, a large billboard on a multi-storey building shows a portrait of a saffron-robed man with a tall orange head-cloth, beside smaller portraits and a Kannada-language message. Motorcycle riders and two black-and-yellow auto-rickshaws move through the junction, and a few pedestrians walk along the pavement. A yellow ornamental gateway stands in the road, and traffic signals hang above. The man on the billboard is a printed portrait, not a physical person in the scene; the visible riders and pedestrians are the only physical people.
