Outdoor procession on a dusty road beside a field and power lines, with a decorated open vehicle at centre. Two seated men in saffron/orange robes sit on a raised platform draped in white cloth and garlanded with marigolds; one wears an orange turban. Several men in white and orange shawls sit or stand around the vehicle. Two large umbrellas with multicoloured fringed canopies and a printed emblem of a bird and the word Dhyanapeetam shade the scene. Crowds of people in white, orange shawls and everyday clothing walk alongside, including a woman in an orange headscarf at left. A green and blue banner and bananas hanging at right complete the scene.
