A dense street procession in daytime moves through a busy Tamil Nadu town road lined with traffic. Many men in white shirts and dhotis and casual shirts walk and ride motorbikes, with some women in saris at right. Several large posters and banners on the right show a figure wearing an orange-red turban and saffron-toned clothing, with a red-and-yellow poster reading Kovilpatti. A colourful gopuram-style temple tower with painted deities stands at upper right, and a thatched hut and multi-storey buildings line the street. Buses and trucks crowd the road at left.
