A street procession in front of a yellow multi-storey building with green shutters and a bus marked in Tamil. A man in an orange-saffron robe with a long white flower garland and a rudraksha-style neck garland walks at centre, with long swept-back hair; his appearance is consistent with a sannyasi and he may be a person, though the face and build are not clearly enough to confirm. Around him, devotees in white dhotis and shirts walk barefoot, one bare-chested man in a red-orange shawl with a red garland, and a woman in a cream sari with a brown border carries a brass tray of flowers, bananas and fruit. A man in white at right carries a ceremonial staff-like object.
