Outdoor procession scene with a crowd of people in ornate costume. Several young performers wear large gold crowns and gold jewellery, some in orange and saffron garments with garlands of white flowers, and one holds a tall gold staff. A man in a white-and-orange outfit stands near the crowd, while a woman in a light top kneels on dirt ground beside two small children, one in grey and one in white with blue shoes. On the right, a man in a cream checked shirt with a crossbody bag faces away from the camera. Behind the group are green trees, a utility pole and spectators holding phones. A dark ornamental figure with a gold crescent appears at the top left.
