A street procession in a small Tamil Nadu town passes under a pink-and-white arched gateway with Tamil text. A golden ornate ratha (chariot) decorated with carved lions and colourful striped hangings carries a deity murti. Devotees in white dhotis and shirts, some in saffron-coloured or pink saris, walk alongside holding orange saffron flags on poles. A man on a motorcycle in white clothes watches from the left, and onlookers stand along the road with a mountain behind them.
