A road procession of many people walks along a tree-lined rural lane under an overcast sky, with palm trees and power lines behind them. In the foreground, a man in a white shirt with a lanyard holds an orange flag with a blue emblem, and a woman in a white shawl stands beside him holding a sign. Other marchers in white shirts and dark clothing carry bright orange flags, and several hold red and white placards with portraits and slogans. Some paraders hold up printed signs in the foreground. The procession stretches into the distance on the right. The scene is a public march rather than a ritual, and no single figure is clearly identifiable as a person.
