Night procession at a festival with a crowd lining both sides of a lit street. Performers in elaborate costumes dance in the centre: several are body-painted yellow and ochre with masks, others wear tall red and orange headdresses, green and red garments and carry tridents or staffs. Bright yellow, pink and orange umbrellas with fringed edges are held overhead. Onlookers in saffron, white, blue and green clothing watch closely, and a drummer in a white shirt plays at right. Red and blue fabric drapes frame the scene.
