A group of about twelve people runs barefoot along a dirt road in a procession, most wearing white shirts and dhotis or saris with red-orange shawls and sashes. A man in the centre-front carries a framed portrait of a smiling woman in an orange garment with a garland, and another man holds a small blue-draped deity murti with a flower garland. Some participants hold orange flags, and a white van with orange flags and Tamil lettering follows behind a red compound wall with bunting.
