A street procession moves along a roadside in daylight, with a crowd of men in white dhotis and white shirts carrying orange flags, some wearing orange scarves or sashes. Two large roadside billboards stand overhead: a blue Canara Bank advertisement showing a drummer boy and a yellow-and-red billboard for AVINASHI with phone numbers. On the right, a banner carries a portrait of a figure in orange robes with a saffron headwrap, but whether that depicted figure is a person cannot be confirmed from appearance. A motorcycle rider passes on the left, and an Innovative arch and a U-turn sign are visible. The crowd is roughly 21 to 100 people.
