Night street procession in a busy Tamil town. In the centre a bearded man in a rust-brown robe and rudraksha mala holds his palms together in namaste while wearing a thick garland of white and multicoloured flowers. To his left a man in cream dhoti and gold-bordered shawl carries a small silver vessel. To his right a sannyasi in a rust-brown robe with a long rudraksha mala and a brass kalasha-shaped pot stands near a woman in brown robe and beaded necklaces with a tilak. Devotees with white and red tilak line the street; shop signs and street lights glow behind, with a lit float in the distance.
