A busy street in a South Indian town with a hillside rising behind rooftops. Two men in light, short-sleeved shirts and trousers walk across the road, one in white with a checked shirt and one in grey trousers. Autorickshaws, a white SUV and motorcycles move along the road, and a woman in a pink sari walks on the pavement. Shops line both sides, with a large green Tamil signboard on the right and a red-and-white advertisement hanging on a building on the left.

A busy street in a South Indian town with a wide paved road running through the centre. Pedestrians walk across the road, including a man in a white dhoti and a woman in a green sari. Several black motorcycles are parked on the right beside a row of shops, and yellow auto-rickshaws sit on the left. A white minibus stands in the middle distance.
