A street procession in a palm-lined Tamil Nadu town. At centre, a gold-coloured ornate canopied palanquin carries deity murtis garlanded with red and white flowers, shaded by two large decorated umbrellas. A man in a white dhoti and white shirt walks beside it with hands folded, while a man in white dhoti and shirt plays a long wind instrument (nadaswaram-style) at left and a drummer in white clothes with a red cloth sash stands in the foreground. Two rows of young women in yellow and gold salwar-kameez with hands folded in anjali line both sides of the road, and a yellow bus and a multi-storey concrete building stand behind.
