A barefoot elderly woman in a grey-beige sari with a pink underskirt walks across a paved street, carrying two red-orange plastic pots, one held in each hand. Behind her, a roadside stall sells colourful balloons and textiles. Several people in white clothes stand or bend near a small brass stand on the road, and a yellow auto-rickshaw is parked nearby. Large yellow hoardings with Tamil text and portraits of men in sunglasses and suits line the street. Pedestrians and motorcycles fill the background.
