Night street procession in a Tamil town. A bearded man in a rust-brown robe and rudraksha mala wears a large garland of white, yellow, pink and purple flowers and walks at the centre with a tilak on his forehead. Around him, disciples in saffron-orange dhotis and shawls carry a brass kalasha-style pot and hold ritual items, while a man in a white dhoti with gold border and gold necklaces walks at left. Street lamps, shopfronts and signboards line the road behind them. Pilgrims in the background look on.

In the centre, a bearded man wearing a brown-red robe and a long multicoloured flower garland walks barefoot; his appearance is consistent with the a person label only in part, so the identity is uncertain. Around him, several young men in saffron-orange dhotis and matching shawls, with rudraksha malas and white ash lines on their foreheads, carry brass kalasha-style vessels. On the left, an older man in a cream shirt and yellow dhoti walks alongside, and to the right a figure in white dhoti with a gold border and bare chest walks with the group. Shops and buildings with signboards line the street behind them.2017-02-07 +1 copiesFebruary 07 20172017-02-07February 07 20172017-02-07 +1 copiesFebruary 07 20172017-02-07 +1 copiesFebruary 07 20172017-02-07February 07 20172017-02-07
