Outdoor photo of a street procession in Tiruvannamalai. A bare-chested man with long swept-back dark hair, a white vibhuti line and bindi, a red-brown saffron-toned shawl, and layered rudraksha malas sits on a decorated float, wearing a large garland of yellow, white and red flowers and holding a red fruit in both hands. He appears to be the Swamiji (probable), with the cues of long hair, rudraksha malas and ornate garland. Beside him, a man in a saffron turban and white shirt with orange dhoti sits on the float, and a smiling man in an ochre cloth and white marks stands nearby. Behind them a cameraman raises a video camera, and women in orange and blue saris watch from the right.
