The image captures the moment of the “Quan Dam” procession, a highly anticipated ritual in which selected village men are lifted by strong young participants.

Each year, four men turning fifty are chosen to embody these generals, preserving a centuries-old tradition that celebrates courage, community, and cultural identity.
