A village street procession in Tamil Nadu under a bright sky. A bald man in saffron-orange robes with a rudraksha mala walks in the centre of the road, flanked by men in white dhotis and a man in dark red-brown ritual dress. Lines of women in saris, many in yellow, pink and teal, hold brass plates with flowers, fruit and offerings. Thatched huts, a green-walled house, a brick wall, and a pair of drums are at the sides, with spectators watching from rooftops and a balcony. A vehicle and a small umbrella are visible further back. Fruit and banana-leaf decorations line the route.
