This is a photograph of two tang-kis in a procession along Scotts Road. The tang-ki in the foreground is wearing a red outfit with a cape. He has a skewer, which he is holding with both hands, pierced through his cheeks. He is also carrying some joss sticks in his left hand. The other tang-ki is partially visible several steps behind him, surrounded by some men wearing white T-shirts and yellow pants. A tang-ki is a medium possessed by the spirits and deities.
