A large outdoor procession in a village street in Pattanam, Tamil Nadu, with a dense crowd of devotees, mostly in white dhotis and white saris, moving toward a decorated chariot under a red canopy. Orange flags flank the road, and a gopuram-style temple tower with a bell-shaped roof stands in the background among trees. A uniformed police officer in khaki stands near the front, and women in saris carry young children. Banana leaves and fruit trays appear in the foreground. The scene conveys a ratha procession and welcome gifts. No individual can be confidently identified as the a person from appearance here.
