A festive procession on a village street in Tamil Nadu. A person in an orange-saffron turban, orange shawl and a multi-strand white and red flower garland stands upright on a white-draped red chariot seat under a red canopy with gold trim and hanging beads. Behind, a striped multicoloured umbrella reads "DHYANAPEETAM". Dense crowds of men in white shirts and dhotis, some in red shirts, line the road; banana trees, orange flags and balloons decorate the scene.
