Night photograph of an open dirt-and-mud road lined with a row of tall street lamps glowing orange, with wet puddles reflecting the light. Several men walk along the road: one in a red shirt and white dhoti at left, two in white shirts with lungis or checked cloths in the centre, and a figure in a white top and dark lungi standing at right. A low fence runs along the roadside with banners and flags strung from poles beyond it. Rain or mist speckles the dark sky, and the frame is cut off at the bottom by the edge of a vehicle's windshield.
