Several colourful decorated umbrellas with fringe and bright banners with emblems are carried aloft. Drummers in the foreground play large drums, and a man in an orange garment with a red cloth at the front center leads the group, with bearers holding long poles and orange flags. Vehicles and a motorcyclist are visible on the left, and the crowd fills most of the frame.
