A roadside street scene at a busy junction in Tamil Nadu, with a white van parked at the kerb. The van's open side shows a framed picture of a saffron-clad figure and a shrine-like display. Several people in white dhotis and saffron or white saris stand near the van, and one man in a white shirt walks across the road. Behind them are shops, a hotel restaurant sign and a green road sign pointing to Bargur, Jolarpettai and Ranipettai. A small cluster of people stands near the van while others are scattered along the pavement. A timestamp in the corner reads 12.04.2008.
