A white Maruti van with a blue Dhyanapeetam sign on its windscreen and a blue dove-style logo on its door stands on dirt ground at an outdoor procession site. Luggage bags in red, blue and orange are piled on the roof rack beneath a wooden palanquin-like frame. Garlands of white flowers hang from the front bumper and the windscreen. Several men in white shirts and dhotis, one in a plaid shirt and checked lungi, and a man in a blue kurta and a man in yellow-orange clothing stand near the open driver door. Trees and red flags are in the background.
