A crowd of devotees walks through a temple-town street in procession, many men in white dhotis and shirts with orange cords, one man in orange dhoti and another in maroon shirt. A figure in the centre wears an orange-red turban, an orange robe and a flower garland, smiling. Behind them stand tall multicoloured temple chariots with painted pillars and a small gopuram-style shrine, plus stalls and umbrellas along the road. Some people carry flower garlands and offerings.

A street procession moves through a temple town with many devotees in white clothes and orange-red garlands or cords. Two ornate chariots with colourful pillars and carved deities stand behind, with a temple gopuram-like dome and palm trees in the background. In the centre, a man in an orange-saffron head wrap, saffron garment and a garland, with long hair, walks beside a man in a brown shirt. Nearby, a man in white dhoti and shirt with an ID badge walks among others. Shops, umbrellas and a banner with a face on the right complete the scene. Several men and women are visible in the crowd.2003-12-19December 19 20032003-12-19December 20 20112011-12-20February 02 20072007-02-02December 29 20092009-12-29December 29 20092009-12-29December 20 20112011-12-20December 20 20112011-12-20December 20 20112011-12-20September 24 20062006-09-24December 26 20102010-12-26A dense outdoor street procession crowds a town road under a clear sky. Hundreds of people in white ritual clothes, many men in white shirts and dhotis and women in white saris or dark shawls, press forward behind a decorated ratha-style cart topped with multicoloured umbrellas and a white canopy. Garlands and yellow bunting strung across the road frame the scene. Behind the crowd, a yellow banner and shopfronts line the street. Within the crowd no figure can be confidently identified as a person from appearance, so the sightline is limited to roles as devotees and procession participants.2007-02-02
