Outdoor festival procession under a sunny blue sky with palm trees and a row of national flags on tall poles. A figure in orange robes with long dark hair stands on a raised platform beneath a large white ceremonial parasol with red trim and decorative motifs, holding a microphone. Around them, many people in white clothing and orange shawls, including women with long braided hair, stand close together behind a rope barrier. A trident stands on the platform beside a dark feathered fan.
