Night photograph of a procession walking along a lit path. In the centre, a bearded man wears an orange-red turban with a jewelled ornament, a gold and green beaded garland, a leopard-print shawl over bare shoulders and maroon dhoti. Flanking him are men in white dhotis with gold borders, rudraksha malas and armbands, one holding a folded umbrella. An older man in a maroon kurta with a white ID badge and white dhoti walks beside them, holding a small light. Behind is a dark vehicle with a trident emblem and Tamil Nadu plate TN 25 AE 4001, and a white tent at left. The bearded central figure has distinctive turban and garland cues, so the appearance-based candidate is a person, walking in procession.
