A festival procession on a sunny day. A horse-drawn carriage with an ornate silver-embossed seat and garlands of marigolds and white flowers is led by a white horse decorated with red and gold cloth. Under a multicoloured canopy with tassels, marked with the emblem and words Dhyanapeetam, a figure in orange robes with long hair and an orange headband sits beside a smiling man in a dark suit, white shirt and red tie. Orange flags flank the carriage, and a trident-topped staff stands on the right. Other men in dark suits and orange headbands walk alongside, and balloons decorate the carriage front. Trees and yellow buildings appear in the background.
