A photograph of a roadside procession on a dirt shoulder beside a paved road. Several dozen people walk in two loose lines: men in white dhotis and shirts carry brass items and trays, and a drummer with a barrel drum wears white. A man in a teal shirt plays a long wind instrument, and a group in orange and saffron clothing walks near a woman in a red sari. On the right, two elderly men in saffron robes, one with an orange turban, stand watching. Behind them, a thatched structure, a blue tarp and a large roadside banner with a portrait and Tamil text stand among trees, and a few small cars sit on the road at left.
