Street procession in a Tamil Nadu town on a bright day, with a crowd of men and women in white dhotis, saris and shirts walking beside a bus marked Tiruchi-Salem. Two decorated red and yellow umbrellas with gold finials and a multicolour canopy mark the procession, and a drummer in a blue cloth plays a drum at the lower right. Uniformed police officers in khaki walk along the road, and a thatched-roof building stands on the right. Several men wear saffron or orange shawls, and some carry printed placards on sticks.
