A photograph of a street in Vellore, Tamil Nadu, showing a large orange and white bus marked SHRISHTI driving toward the camera past a yellow auto-rickshaw and a cyclist. A large yellow banner with Tamil text hangs above the road, with a tall portrait of a saffron-robed monk on its right side, and saffron flags flutter on a pole. On the roadside, a small group of people stands near a loudspeaker stack and a bicycle, including a man in an orange shirt and several women in colourful saris. Palm trees and a thatched roof line the scene.
