Two ornate gold-and-red ceremonial umbrellas or canopies with pointed finials rise above the crowd, and large red flags wave on the right. A white vehicle is parked behind the group. Some men wear plaid shirts and trousers. The atmosphere is a devotional street procession with people cheering and celebrating.
