A festival procession outdoors in bright daylight, with a golden palanquin-style carriage decorated with white and purple flower garlands, hanging bells and pink, green and yellow tassels. A seated figure in a red garment with a red garland sits on the carriage beneath a gold finial canopy, holding a white fan-like object. Surrounding it, men in white dhotis and shirts walk and carry poles, and orange flags with a blue emblem wave. Two large umbrellas in green, red and gold with the printed word "DhyanaPeetam" and white dove motifs shade the procession. Several people in white stand near the carriage, some with hands raised, and a crowd of onlookers is visible at the bottom edge.
