As much of India swelters in unusually high temperatures, the driver of one New Delhi autorickshaw has found a new way of keeping himself and his passengers cool: growing a mini-garden on the three-wheeler's roof.
Mahendra Kumar says the covering of grasses and plants shields the plastic and metal roof of the vehicle from direct sunlight.
"I planted them to get some respite during the heat," the 48-year-old said, standing by his green and yellow autorickshaw in a grey uniform and a scarf slung from his neck to wipe away sweat.
