Umbrella Details



Umbrella

Beads

This colorful and wonderfully decorated umbrella is part of the Pakaradyan Festival float, an entry from Malapatan, Saranggani Province.

According to the Aliwan Fiesta website:
The municipality of Malapatan in Saranggani province is participating with a float entry. The Pakaradyan is a term used for any festivity in the area – be it a kalilang (wedding), a kuyog (procession), or the enthronement of the sultan. In Saranggani, a pakaradyan celebration is highlighted by beautiful Maguindanaoan décor artfully arranged. The sound of drums, kulintang, and agung are heard the whole day. The Pakaradyan is an opulent feast to fill the senses.
