Outdoor procession on a decorated vehicle with a white canopy and a large ornate umbrella in blue, orange, green and red panels with embroidered emblems, a dove motif and the printed word "Dhyanapeetam" along its border, hung with orange and yellow tassels.

Beneath the umbrella, a man in white kurta and a woman in orange shawl sit near the front; several people in white and orange garments walk alongside, and a crowd of villagers in dhotis and shirts watches from a dusty roadside beside a small roadside shop and a second matching umbrella.
