A dense street crowd of men in white shirts and white dhotis presses around a white van on a sunny tree-lined road. Many hands reach upward and outward toward an unseen centre, and several men look toward the vehicle. Behind them hang strings of colourful pennants and banners, a green-and-saffron signboard, and a small framed portrait on a wall. Some people wear checked or striped shirts. The mood is one of eager greeting around a visiting arrival.
