Night photo of a dense crowd on a street near a blue canopy labelled Tiruvannamalai Traffic Police, with a green bus behind. In the centre, a bearded man in an orange-saffron dress and a large garland of white, yellow and pink flowers stands among followers, one of whom wears an orange cloth and a rudraksha mala. A woman in a cream and gold sari with a red-bordered cloth, red bindi and beaded necklaces presses her palms together in namaste beside a red barrier. Several men wear white sacred ash marks on their foreheads, and one man in a grey CAPSIZE T-shirt stands near the centre. Roughly a crowd of several dozen people is visible, with many partially hidden.
