A street procession in a South Indian town moves past a white tourist bus and a yellow auto-rickshaw. At the centre, a bare-headed man in saffron cloth and a garland of orange beads walks barefoot beside a man in a red-orange turban and orange dhoti who carries a long staff. Behind them, several devotees in saffron and red robes follow, while men in white dhotis and yellow shawls walk on the left. Shop fronts, a roadside fruit stall and a camera operator line the street.
