Behind them, a man in a white shirt wears an orange shawl, and a woman in orange wears a gold-coloured garland. Several men in white shirts and dhotis with orange shawls follow. Two large colourful umbrellas with tassels, one reading Dhyanapeetam in lettering, are held aloft by attendants in white and yellow clothing.
