Two large colourful umbrellas with multicoloured panels and fringed edges are carried above the group.

One central man in an orange garment wears a red-and-white flower garland and carries a small object in his hands, while a bald man in orange nearby also carries items. Ceremonial umbrellas with embroidered yellow-and-red emblems trail behind. A tall metal pole stands in the background.
