Night street procession in Tiruvannamalai. A man in a rust-brown robe with a long brown rudraksha mala and a white forehead band walks at centre, wearing a large garland of white, yellow and pink flowers and holding his hands together in prayer. Flanking him, a man in orange robes and gold chains carries a brass kalasha-style vessel, another orange-robed man walks beside him, and a man in a white dhoti with gold border and gold necklace carries a small metal vessel. Orange-robed attendants and white-clad devotees follow down the road, with a lit temple gopuram glowing in the background and shop signs lining the street.
