A roadside scene on a mountain route in the Himalayas, with a blue Hindi and English direction sign on the left listing Kund Kaloni 2 km, Chamoli 10 km, Pipalkoti 29 km, Joshimath 62 km and Sri Badrinath 108 km. On the right, an Indian Oil petrol station shows red signs for SERVO, Petrol, Diesel, hours 0600-2200, Free Air and Toilet. A white minivan and a few parked cars sit on the road, a corrugated-roof shop stands behind, and wooded green hills rise under a cloudy sky. No people are clearly visible apart from a partly seen figure at the fuel island.
