Night procession on a dirt road. A standing person in a red-orange sari-style robe with gold-yellow borders, a red-orange turban, gold necklaces and bangles holds a silver trident and stands in front of a red, yellow and green umbrella embroidered with "Dhyana Peetam". Behind them, a decorated tractor trailer carries a shrine-like canopy with garlanded deity murtis under a green cloth, and two men sit in the tractor cab with a flower garland on its grille. String lights glow in the background. Two people are visible in the tractor cab and the person with the trident is standing; the robe-clad figure's identity is uncertain from appearance.
