A golden ornate procession vehicle with carved trim sits at the left edge, its arched panel showing a portrait labelled "Paramahamsa Nithyananda" of a smiling man in a white turban and white garment. A banner on the vehicle reads "Grand Procession". Beside it, a standing man in a white dhoti and orange shawl holds a small object, and another man in white and an orange-clad figure stand among a crowd of onlookers on a dirt construction site with concrete block walls, a blue tarpaulin, a yellow excavator and tall trees behind. The scene is a daytime outdoor procession gathering at the site.
