A festival procession moves through a crowd under bright sunlight with palm trees behind. A central figure in orange robes wears a white headband, a long white and red flower garland, and gold necklaces, and walks with hands gesturing. Beside him on the left a bearded man in orange robes and a gold necklace walks near a gold ornament. Behind, red, orange and yellow decorated umbrellas are raised on poles, and a man in a dark suit and a man in a light shirt and cream shawl join the crowd, with many raised arms visible.
