The image depicts a gathering of people in a public space in Nyangi Milimba, Democratic Republic of Congo. The gathering takes place under a large, brown canopy made of a tarp-like material, supported by wooden poles. The canopy provides shade from the sun. The ground is covered with dirt and loose gravel. Many people are packed closely together, interacting and observing. Several people are wearing traditional clothing. A man in a blue shirt and a blue and white scarf is at the center of attention. He is smiling and has white powder on his head. People are reaching out to him, seemingly congratulating him. A person in a yellow hat is holding a phone and taking a photo. Several other people are looking on, some are conversing, while others are taking photos. The general ambiance is festive and celebratory.
