Night procession on a town street in Tiruvannamalai. A richly illuminated golden temple chariot (ratha) with a multi-tiered domed canopy and decorated spires carries a deity murti garlanded with green and orange flowers. Men in white shirts and white dhotis walk alongside the chariot, while a tractor-drawn platform with a seated man in a white shirt and dark trousers leads the way, flanked by drummers and musicians in yellow shirts playing horns and drums. Smoke or incense drifts through the crowd. Shops with shuttered fronts and signboards line the street, and onlookers crowd the sides.
