Street procession in Madurai with a wooden palanquin carrying several seated saint statues draped in red and cream cloth and garlanded with white flowers. A man in the foreground, seen from behind with grey hair, raises his hand over a silver tray holding lit oil lamps producing flames and smoke as an aarti offering. Men in white vests and a uniformed police officer stand nearby, and onlookers crowd the roadside under a sunny sky with parked motorcycles and shopfronts behind.
