Street scene during a procession in a Tamil Nadu town. A central figure wears a saffron robe, a long multi-strand garland of white jasmine and red flowers, and rudraksha malas, with a light forehead mark. Several saffron-robed, shaved-headed men with ash and red-sandal markings stand around him, one in a saffron wrap with rudraksha beads. A woman in an orange sari with a red bindi smiles at right. A crowd of mostly men in white shirts and dhotis presses close, with a photographer raising a camera and a dark car with a red sign at left. Yellow building facades and a tree line the street.
