Outdoor procession on a dusty reddish-orange road under bright sunlight. Devotees in white dhotis, white kurtas and white shirts with red logo prints walk alongside a canopy carried on poles, its red and gold banner reading DHYANAPEETAM, decorated with a row of multicoloured pendant tassels. Many saffron and orange flags wave overhead, and several colourful umbrellas with tasselled edges are carried. On the left, girls and young women in white and a woman in red hold flower garlands and offerings. Whitewashed buildings and a utility pole line the street.
