A night street procession in a busy Tamil town. At centre, a man with a beard and moustache in a saffron-orange sannyasi robe and rudraksha mala, wearing a large white and multicoloured flower garland, stands with palms pressed together in namaskar. Beside him, a man in white dhoti with gold border holds a small metal vessel and a towel over his shoulder; another man in white dhoti and gold-bordered shawl stands behind. On the right, people in orange robes and a woman in a red sari with gold jewellery stand near a figure carrying a brass vessel. A uniformed police officer in khaki stands at the left edge. Shop fronts, signboards and a lit temple chariot canopy appear in the background.
