- Synopsis
- This image shows some of the activities and things you might see on a typical Indian street. There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the correct way up. An image border surrounds the image. There is a man selling things on the left of the page, a cow in the centre of the page and a cycle rickshaw on the right of the page. All the people and the cow are shown from the side so only one eye can be found on each person and the cow. Each person only has one arm and leg showing. The cow has only one horn, ear and nostril showing but all four legs can be found. The man is sitting on a box in the bottom left of the page. He wears a pale blue cotton shirt and grey trousers. He is outside a small shop with a large bowl of fruit and three cooking pots piled up in front of him for sale. Up the page from him there are two cream coloured shirts for sale hanging from a rod which is attached to the shop front. Only a small part of the corner of the shop is shown. In the centre of the page the cow is facing to the left. In the top left of the cow there is a slightly curved horn sticking up. Down from this is a droopy ear hanging down. To the left of the ear is an eye. At the tip of its head is a nostril and down from this is its mouth. To the right of the head is the cow's body. There is a large lump of skin and fat on the cow's shoulders. To the right is a small lump where the cow's hipbone pushes the skin up. The cow's tail which ends in a hairy tassel hangs down on the right. To the left of the front legs is a large dewlap, a loose flap of skin which hangs down from the cow's neck. The cow is walking very slowly to the left. The cycle rickshaw is moving to the left. The front wheel is to the bottom left. The forks go up from the centre of the wheel to the handle bar in the top left of the image. The cyclist faces to the left and holds the handle bar. His arm goes up and right to his shoulder. He sits upright on the saddle, has short black hair and wears a loose red shirt and a dark blue sarong. This is a piece of cloth men wear wrapped around the lower half of their body. His foot is bare and rests on a pedal. The pedal arm goes down and right to the centre of the front chain wheel. The chain, shown as a dashed line, goes from the top and bottom of the chain wheel to the cogwheel on the centre of the rear axle. Only one of the two rear wheels is shown. Up from the wheel is the small carriage of the rickshaw. A man sits here facing to the left. He wears a pale grey shirt and a pale blue sarong. The side of the carriage hides his feet and bottom. The top of his head cannot be found as the dark grey canvas carriage roof hides it. The rickshaw driver is trying to pass the cow which is just wandering about. In most parts of India cows are regarded as sacred and allowed to do as they please in towns and cities.
