Muddy road after the rain

Roads, for example, are not paved and during the monsoon season they are impraticable becuse too muddy.

Early in the morning around the super polluted Ring Road yoy can see the vendors coming from outside with their merchandise carried over their heads.
The lucky ones have a bike, the female ones have a small sedentary market.
