A street procession in Tamil Nadu moves past a city wall and roadside buildings. Devotees in saffron and orange shirts and sarongs walk among people in white dhotis and shirts, some holding orange and red flags and a yellow-and-red parasol. A drummer in white beats a large drum at right. Behind them, a large photographic poster of a smiling woman in orange hangs on a float, and a banner with Tamil text and a portrait of a man in a dark suit is mounted on a richly carved stone shrine structure. A uniformed police officer stands at the left edge, and a man in an orange shirt walks in the foreground.
