A dense night-time street procession moves through a crowded town road. In the foreground, a large ornate palanquin with a white canopy edged in gold fringe carries a decorated deity murti in colourful painted and jewelled costume, borne on long green poles by many men in white dhotis and shirts, some bare-chested. Behind it, a second palanquin with a green-and-gold canopy carries another decorated deity figure. Hundreds of onlookers fill the street and balconies, and uniformed police stand among them. Shop signs, string lights and a large red-and-white portrait banner on a pole line the roadside, with a Tamil name visible on the banner.2011-01-16January 16 20112011-01-16Kailasa Paramparagatha Arunagiri Yogishwara Adi Arunachala Sarvajnapeetha SamrajyamFebruary 07 20172017-02-07 +2 copiesDecember 03 20222022-12-03Photo 11710659 +3 copiesFebruary 07 20172017-02-07 +2 copiesNight street procession in a crowded Tamil Nadu town lined with bright white string lights and colourful signboards, including a blue sign reading Sri Karpagambal and a red sign reading Iraiyapriya Sri Vanga Ayurvedic style text.
