A photograph of a crowd during an outdoor procession under a pale sky. Many people, mostly seen from behind, stand close together, including a man in a red turban at lower center and a man in a blue-and-white striped turban at lower right. Above them, ornate parasol-like canopies with red, orange, blue and multicolored fringes and embroidered panels are carried on poles, alongside tall red-orange flags and a decorated staff. A few palm trees and a building appear at the left horizon. No a person candidate is clearly identifiable in the visible crowd, and the procession canopies and flags suggest a ceremonial procession.
