A large crowd of villagers stands on a dusty unpaved village street lined with tiled-roof houses and palm trees. Many people, mostly men in white shirts, lungis and checked sarongs, and women in colourful saris, face one direction, some with hands folded in namaste. Parked white cars and a yellow auto-rickshaw sit along the road. In the background a gopuram-style temple tower with painted sculptures rises among the trees, and a white wall bears partial red lettering. Overall a busy outdoor gathering in a South Indian village.
