A crowd of men in white shirts and white dhotis moves along a street, with a man in the centre wearing a white shirt and a white floral garland with red flowers, his hands joined near his chest as an orange-robed person reaches toward him, applying a mark or offering. Several men nearby wear white forehead marks, and a red-and-yellow banner with a painted deity figure and Tamil lettering is held up behind the crowd, with multi-storey buildings and a low wall in the background.
