A street procession in daylight with several costumed dancers in tall white-and-gold headdresses, white plumes and bright red, orange and maroon costumes heavy with beaded necklaces, bells and ankle ornaments. Two dancers in front carry swords and wear green trousers and red garments; behind them a drummer in a pink shirt and green turban beats a drum, and a young boy in a striped shirt walks beside him. Spectators on motorcycles and roadside onlookers line the road under a clear sky, with a yellow police tape strip visible at right.
