A figure with long dark hair and an orange saffron garment stands with their back to the camera, facing a large flat rock decorated with garlands of red, white and orange flowers and a scatter of pink rose petals over a white cloth. An orange and multicoloured canopy with the word Dhyanapeetam and dove motifs shelters the area. Behind, a crowd of people in orange and white clothing sits and stands among palms and shrubs, with a temple gopuram visible in the distant town below.
