The image depicts an outdoor cultural event in Karangrejo, Indonesia, under clear daylight conditions. The foreground shows a wet, reflective ground surface. In the immediate foreground, a male on the left, wearing a black cap and t-shirt with khaki shorts, leans over a kneeling male, holding a lit stick emitting smoke near his head. Adjacent to him, a male dressed in a black long-sleeved top and dark trousers with a gold-colored headpiece, adjusts or ties a dark rope-like object around the kneeling male's neck/head. The kneeling male, central to the foreground action, is on his hands and knees, wearing a black long-sleeved shirt and a red headband. His face is smeared with a dark substance, and colorful fabric is draped around his lower back. He is oriented towards the right. A male in a black t-shirt and blue jeans stands to the right, observing the interaction. Partially visible in the bottom center is another male wearing a black jacket with yellow embroidery and a red headband, holding a red object. In the mid-ground, a dense crowd of spectators, composed of adults and children, observes the activity. Several women in the crowd wear hijabs. One individual within the crowd, center-right, wears a large, elaborate, multi-colored mask or costume resembling an animal. The background features traditional Indonesian-style houses with prominent tiled roofs, decorated with red and white banners and drapes. A tall structure with stacked sound system speakers is visible on the right side of the background.
