Street scene of a crowd of devotees following a yellow and blue vehicle decorated with marigold garlands and a large painted banner of a seated figure in saffron above it. A printed photo of a figure in a pink turban and saffron clothing is taped on the windscreen beside a sign reading SRI PALANI ANDAVAR. Men in white shirts and lungis, women in pink and grey saris, and a boy with folded arms stand close together; one man in a yellow shirt holds his hands in anjali. The windscreen photo is a printed image, not a physical person, and the saffron-clad figure at the edge is partially visible.
