Outdoor procession crowded with devotees on a dirt road. A central figure with long dark hair, a gold crown-like headband, orange-saffron garment, and garland stands at the centre of the crowd, appearing to walk in procession. Around him, many people in white and orange clothes press close, some with tilak marks on their foreheads. Behind them are an orange and yellow canopy umbrella reading 'Dhyanapeetam', a large peacock-feather fan with a red and gold emblem, and ceremonial silver staffs. Buildings and palm trees are visible in the background.
