This picture was sent in by JP, who also sent these photos from New Delhi, along with a backstory on public urinals in India. The urinal itself is located behind the blue stall doors visible in the background, beneath the sign that reads "Madurai Corporation Modern Gents Free Urinal", the heads of the fixture's users are visible just above the blue doors.

"Madurai is the third largest city in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu with a population of over 1 million (census2001). Located on the banks of River Vaigai, Madurai has been a major settlement for two millennia. It is one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world. The city is the administrative headquarters of Madurai District. The capital of the Pandyan kingdom was initially Korkai, around 600 BCE, and was later moved to Koodal (now Madurai) during the reign of Nedunj Cheliyan I. Madurai is famous for its temples built by Pandyan and Madurai Nayak kings in the Dravidian style of architecture. It is also one of India's most prominent Hindu pilgrimage centres."
