A photograph taken from behind of a group of men in dark shirts and trousers standing on a dirt courtyard as a procession is prepared. Several men hold ornate ceremonial umbrellas with colourful fringed canopies in blue, red, orange and gold, topped with gold finials. Each man's shirt back bears a printed portrait photo. At the left, a large silver trident-style staff stands beside a parked car, and at the lower left a brass-rimmed drum is visible. A white and red fringed canopy stands in the middle, with a white building and green gate behind. Men holding the umbrellas stand at intervals, with some wearing blue-grey trousers.
