A busy Indian street lined with shops, seen from a slightly blurred vantage point. Many pedestrians walk along the road, some in white shirts and dhotis, women in saris including a yellow sari and pink and green fabrics, and a man in a striped red shirt in the foreground. A yellow auto-rickshaw is in the middle of the street, and a tall orange saffron flag flutters on a pole at left. Shop fronts display colourful hanging textiles and signboards, with a bicycle and motorbike parked at the left edge. The scene looks like an ordinary market street during a Ratha Yatra-style procession route in Madurai, Tamil Nadu. A watermarked date stamp appears at bottom right.
