Night photograph of a temple procession at Thiruvannamalai. A silver-plated, ornately decorated vehicle with an illuminated gilded shrine canopy stands at center, and a large silver-covered vahana with a colourful, flower-and-jewel decorated arch and tassels is beside it. Strings of lights outline the arch. Several men in white dhotis and orange cloths attend the vehicle and handle the poles; one bare-chested man in an orange dhoti stands near the shrine. A small group of seated men in white and saffron clothing sits at the base of the vehicle. Dense crowd silhouettes fill the foreground, and shop signs, including a coffee bar sign and an optician sign, line the street behind.
