Night procession on a dirt road. A smiling person in a rust-red robe with gold-yellow borders and a matching red turban stands in front, holding a silver trident and wearing a gold necklace and gold armbands. Behind them a red and multicoloured umbrella with tassels reads Dhyana Peetam. Further back, a tractor pulls a decorated float with deity murtis garlanded in flowers under green draping. Two men sit in the tractor cab, and coloured lights glow in the distance. The outfit and trident suggest a Shiva-themed costume, but the person's identity is not established from appearance.
