Outdoor procession on a dirt road during a festival. Two dancers in the centre wear red and orange costumes with white plumed headdresses, yellow-and-orange garlands, beaded necklaces and ankle bells, and hold small brass cymbals while dancing. Drummers in yellow, red and blue shirts play large drums on both sides. Behind them crowds of people in white clothes and orange flags with ornate embroidered panels line the path, with banana plants and a distant white figure visible in the background.
