group of people, mostly men, participating in a traditional ceremony in an outdoor setting. The ground is reddish-brown dirt with some litter and a small burning pile of debris in the foreground. Several men are wielding flat, round objects, possibly fans or shields, and playfully striking at each other. One man has a pink sash around his waist and decorative streamers attached to his back. They are moving energetically around the burning pile. Other individuals, including women in patterned dresses, are observing the activity in the background under a covered structure. The setting appears to be a village square or community gathering area. The lighting is bright, suggesting it is daytime.
