Evening photograph of a temple procession at Tirumala. A gilded, flower-garlanded palanquin with a deity murti is carried forward under two white umbrellas with red trim and fringe. A blue information board listing daily and weekly sevas and utsavams stands on the left. Crowded devotees surround the palanquin: a man in a turquoise shirt holds his hands folded, a bare-chested man in white dhoti with a yellow sash carries a torch, and a man with a red-and-white body marking walks in front. Street lamps and a dusk sky light the scene.
