A man holding a drum before a fire to tighten it’s skin. A person puts the finishing touches to a model of a god. A man beating a gong. A procession of people with a model of the deity Kartikeyan walk up the street. Children running. People dancing and beating drums. People worship as the procession passes. People have their heads anointed with a paste of sandalwood during a ceremony. A flower is given to each person. A man hands sweets to a line of children. Silhouettes of temples are seen as the sun goes down. Torches pass in the darkness. People fire dance and fireworks spray into the air.
