Street procession in a Tamil town during daytime. Musicians in the foreground play a long pipe and brass cymbals; one drummer wears a rudraksha mala and an orange cloth with "Sivaya" printed on it. A tall ceremonial standard with an orange-and-red fringed canopy and a central emblem is carried above the crowd. Many men in white shirts and dhotis walk along the road, some with rosettes pinned to their shirts. Shops, a pharmacy sign and parked vehicles line the street, and a policeman in khaki stands at the left edge.

Drummers in white dhotis and shirts beat large barrel drums with cords, while a man in white with a red cloth on his shoulder plays a long brass horn. Several men carry saffron flags on poles and ornate ceremonial umbrellas with coloured fringes, and a shaved-headed man in white with an orange shawl walks at the right foreground. Devotees in white, checked shirts and sarongs follow, and a woman in blue stands among them. Strings of shop boards and a thatched stall frame the scene. The image is a photograph of the procession.2008-08-01August 01 20082008-08-01August 01 20082008-08-01
