Two men in white dhotis and white shirts or red vests play long brass horns (nadaswaram-style wind instruments) at the centre of the road. Around them, devotees in white saris and white dhotis stand with palms pressed together in greeting, and a man in a striped shirt and a woman in white hold bouquets of flowers. A cameraman with a large video camera stands at the right edge. A large portrait banner hangs on a wall at left. Several people stand along both sides of the street, welcoming a visiting arrival, with a Tamil-speaking devotional greeting atmosphere.
