A festival procession on a sunny day, with a horse-drawn carriage and a decorated umbrella. A long-haired young man in an orange saffron cloth and a garland of white and red flowers sits on a silver-covered seat, while a man in a black suit, white shirt and red tie sits beside him, both wearing orange headbands. Above them a multicoloured canopy with tassels and an embroidered label reads Dhyanapeetam, flanked by tall orange flags. A golden trident and a golden staff stand at the sides, and bunches of marigolds and balloons decorate the carriage. Onlookers are visible at the left, including a man in white ritual clothing with a sacred thread and a boy in a striped top. a person's presence is only appearance-based and uncertain, so the role is given as the seated young man in saffron.
