This is the modern appearance of Guntur, in the state of Andhra Pradesh, India. The banner, written in the language of Telegu, proclaims: "Nagara Paalaka Sansth. Gunturu" which means "city protection [or supervisory] organization of Guntur." In the website of Guntur, the report is made: "Pierre Jules Cesar Janssen (1824-1907) discovered the existence of Helium in Guntur, in 1868, while watching a complete solar eclipse. The unusual length of the eclipse, about ten minutes, had attracted many scientists from all over the world." Courtesy, Gpics, under GNU License.
