Outdoor evening scene at a temple-street procession. A central man with long dreadlocks, a white forehead marking and a full beard stands with palms pressed together, gazing upward. He wears a rust-brown robe over a bare shoulder and a large garland of white flowers, yellow roses, pink blooms and green leaves. Around him, devotees stand close: an older bald man in white with glasses and a gold-beaded necklace, a woman in a white sari with a red-and-white marking, a woman in orange with a gold chain, and men behind in white and orange. A black sign with gold-trimmed decorative corners and Tamil script hangs on an ornate metal bracket against a bamboo-matting wall.
