A large procession moves through the columned corridor of a temple gopuram area, led by devotees in white dhotis and orange or saffron shawls and sashes. Several men carry tall orange flags with a dark crescent emblem. Two decorated umbrellas with red, yellow and blue borders are held aloft over the procession. A banner reading Nithyananda Dhyanapeetam with colourful tassels is held up by marchers, and a blue-and-white auto-rickshaw sits in the foreground among market stalls and onlookers.
