Street procession in a Tamil town with a dense crowd filling the road. Boys in orange uniforms and red berets with plumes play brass wind instruments, and a drummer in orange walks among them. A red-and-white umbrella or canopy rises above the procession, and a man in a white shirt walks at the front. A woman in an orange sari stands at left, while older women and children line the street. Concrete houses, palm trees and a roadside banner with a portrait stand behind the crowd under overhead power lines. The banner is a printed image; the people are physical.
