An outdoor gathering in Ngalula, Democratic Republic of the Congo, features a man in a dark suit and dark shoes positioned centrally, viewed from behind, with his right arm raised high, holding a light-colored fedora-style hat above his head. He stands on unpaved, reddish-brown dirt ground. A large blue tarp provides overhead shade, supported by a prominent light-colored pole in the left foreground and secured by green ropes that extend towards a large, dense green tree in the background. Facing the standing man, a group of approximately twenty individuals, predominantly adult males, are seated on various objects including benches, plastic chairs, and the ground. They wear a variety of casual clothing, including shirts and trousers. On the far right, one individual is seated on a green plastic chair behind a yellow plastic table with a blue folder or book and a green bottle visible on its surface. Behind the seated group is a single-story building constructed of reddish-brown mud bricks, featuring at least two dark, open doorways. The scene is illuminated by strong daylight, casting distinct shadows from the pole and the standing man onto the ground.
