Troops and band of the royal militia regiments parade in the plaza outside the main precincts of the Etherekoilu, now occupied by the main mosque of Malé. At the rear in white uniforms is the naval or Kalasin Regiment. At the front left is the Hangun or Lancers' Regiment and on their right are the royal bandsmen. On the far right are the Sifain or Infantry Regiment.
