A photograph of a crowd at a temple procession at night in Tiruvannamalai. At the centre, a bearded man with long hair and a forehead marking wears a rust-brown robe, a rudraksha mala and a large green and yellow flower garland, and he stands among devotees. Around him, young men and women in saffron-orange cloth and beaded necklaces, some with white vibhuti lines on their foreheads, press close. One man in a white shirt and a man in a checked shirt hold a phone to record. Behind them a small shrine structure with decorations and a yellow signboard are visible, with a tree at the upper right.
