Billboards

A slew of billboards to keep the commuter busy when the traffic doesn't move. The guy on the extreme left is a self employed recycler. He picks up all the discarded plastic and paper to dispose off at the recycling agency for a price.

Dussehra, also known as Vijayadashami, is a major Hindu festival celebrated in India and some other South Asian countries. It usually falls in September or October, marking the end of the nine-day festival of Navaratri. During Navaratri, people engage in various forms of worship, dance, music, and cultural celebrations. The festival has different regional variations and traditions, but the core theme is the celebration of the divine feminine energy, often personified as Goddess Durga or her various forms. Each night of Navaratri is dedicated to the worship of a specific form of the Goddess.

The word "Dussehra" is derived from two Sanskrit words: "Dasha" (meaning ten) and "Hara" (meaning defeat). Therefore, Dussehra symbolizes the triumph of good over evil.

It is also associated with the victory of Lord Rama over the demon king Ravana, as described in the Hindu epic, the Ramayana.
