This image captures an outdoor cultural event, the "Festival Budaya," in Pendem, Indonesia. In the foreground, on a sparse grass and dirt field, four individuals are engaged in a performance. One person lies prone in the center, clad in an elaborate, multi-colored costume resembling an animal or mythical creature. To their left, a person in black attire kneels, holding a braided whip and looking towards the costumed individual. To the right, another person, also in black, kneels next to the costumed figure, seemingly attending to them. Further left, a fourth individual, dressed in black, lies prone, holding a whip-like object. A large, ornate red and blue feathered prop rests on the ground near the center figures. Scattered white plastic cups are visible on the ground. In the background, a covered stage with a green canopy is visible. Banners on the stage announce "FESTIVAL BUDAYA" and "BERSATU DALAM BUDAYA MERDEKA DALAM KEBINEKAAN SIRMANTAN ALASKA DESA PENDEM," along with sponsor logos including Telkomsel and BRI Bank. Several individuals are present on the stage, some with traditional musical instruments resembling gamelan components. Large black audio speakers are positioned on the ground to the right of the stage. In the far background, a red vertical banner with white text is visible, and an earthen berm or embankment rises against a clear sky.
