Several printed sheets and a large red-toned banner are stuck to its base. On the right, a man in a white shirt and dhoti pushes a bicycle while another man rides a motorcycle, and a few people in white and blue saris stand near parked motorbikes under palm trees. White concrete buildings and roadside shops line the street under a hazy morning sky.
