A street procession on a dirt road with devotees waving saffron-orange flags on poles. A hand-held sign on the left shows a smiling man in an orange turban and orange robes, labelled "Nithyanandotsava 12" with "1st January" and a Dhyanapeetha contact line, so the sign is a printed portrait rather than a person in the scene. Several devotees in white kurtas and white dhotis, a man in a light green shirt, and women in white, orange and maroon clothing carry white cloth bags over their shoulders. Trees, a low wall and a row of houses with solar panels sit in the background.
