A documentary-style photograph of a hand-painted Urdu signboard for Meraj General Store, a neighborhood shop promoting imported chocolates like Toblerone, Suchard, Moga, and others. Set on a vibrant red background, the signage is a blend of aspirational branding and local graphic flair, complete with florid Urdu calligraphy and stylized candy illustrations. Framed in modest white plastic, this image captures the visual language of Pakistani shopfront culture where marketing, belief, and aesthetics intersect on every wall.
