A cycle rickshaw close up

The big lettes say "Padma Coffee". The old man coming around is the cycle rickshaw owner/driver. The sign below with the face nailed in says "Sri Madurai Veeran". Veeran means Hero. Madurai is the name of a place 3 hours from Trichy. It has its history in heroes and temples. The nailed face belongs to the former chief minister of Tamil Nadu. The name's J. Jayalalitha.
