The image depicts an outdoor ritual or cleansing ceremony taking place in a muddy clearing in Gempolan, Indonesia, against a backdrop of a steep, vegetated dirt bank. In the immediate foreground, to the right, the blurred right shoulder and back of a person wearing a black long-sleeved shirt are visible, observing the scene. To the left foreground, partially visible, is a portion of a black, shaggy, and elaborately decorated costume, possibly a 'Dadak Merak' (from Reog Ponorogo), with red and white patterned details, currently wet. In the mid-ground, a male individual, appearing to be an older adult, stands facing left, wearing a black long-sleeved shirt, blue denim shorts, dark socks, and light-colored shoes. He has a patterned headband and holds a thin, dark cord or rope in his right hand. To his left, another person lies face down in a black plastic basin filled with water, their head submerged amidst long, dark hair. Their upper body, clad in a light-colored garment, rests on the basin's edge. A second, empty black basin is positioned nearby. In the background, to the left, a younger male individual wears a white baseball cap, a black long-sleeved shirt with a small logo, and blue denim shorts. He holds a white hose, directing a stream of water towards the left foreground, likely onto the costume. Further to the right in the background, another person is partially visible, bent over, wearing dark clothing. The ground is a mixture of wet mud and shallow standing water, with numerous pink and red flower petals scattered across it. A single coconut shell floats in the water in the mid-background. The steep bank behind the subjects is covered densely with green foliage and visible tree roots. The scene is illuminated by bright daylight.
