A street procession on a dusty village road in Tamil Nadu. In the foreground, many women in matching teal-green saris and white blouses stand close together with hands pressed in namaste, several with eyes lowered. Behind them, men and women in white shirts, white dhotis and sarongs carry orange saffron flags with a blue emblem on poles. A woman in an orange sari and an older man in white hold flags; a woman carries a baby in white. Thatched huts, a white temple-like building with a small shrine, and a truck with an orange banner stand in the background. No clearly identifiable a person figure is visible, so no one is labelled as him.
