Why the crowds, and the single file walking, and the uniformity of dress?

Unfortunately, I know very little about Madagascar. I would guess a royal procession, since Antananarivo was the capital, I think (or the narrowness of the streets); the uniformity of dress may simply be that undyed cloth from a distance is hard to distinguish.
