A street procession on a sunny day. A central figure in an orange-saffron robe with a long white and red flower garland, a tilak on the forehead and long dark hair walks barefoot and smiles, with hands clasped at the chest. Behind him, men in white dhotis with orange shawls and a woman in a white sari with a black beaded necklace follow. On the left a drummer plays a drum, and at right a man in a striped shirt beats another drum. Above the crowd, golden decorated banners on poles and white placards with Tamil text and portrait photos are carried, with a yellow bus and power lines in the background. A uniformed police officer stands among the marchers.
