Photograph of a crowd of villagers standing on a wet street during rain, many holding black umbrellas, with hands pressed together in anjali as if greeting or receiving darshan. Women wear saris in cream, orange, yellow, pink and maroon; men wear white shirts, checked shirts and lungis. A woman in the centre wears a cream sari and rudraksha-style beaded necklace. A light blue building with a thatched roof and a truck with a tarpaulin stand in the background, and a red-and-yellow painted wall shows painted lettering. The scene appears to depict a roadside gathering along the Koadikkan Ratha Yatra route.
