A street procession on a tree-lined road in Tiruvannamalai. Many men and women in white clothes with orange shawls walk in a long column. Several carry tall orange-and-red banners with a blue emblem, and some hold brass pots or kalasha on their heads. Others hold umbrellas and a drum. A blue Reliance Mobile signboard and yellow auto-rickshaws line the road. A person in a saffron robe stands near the middle of the procession, but the face is not clearly visible enough to confirm identity, so this is not a confident a person identification.
