Another village's rocket arrives. It was really great, as each village's rocket was carried in, it was accompanied by groups of people banging on drums, cymbals, pots, pans, empty motor oil bottles, basically anything that would make noise...and singing. Then, they would put down the rocket and continue singing and dancing and drinking and beating on drums and such until it was their turn to fire their rockets.
Note the man in the middle in the dress and bra. Not only is the rocket festival meant to usher in the rains, but it is also has to do with fertility (or something) with men in drag and women carrying around phalluses (phalli?).
