In the foreground a young man in a white top and an orange-red patterned shawl dabs white ash or paste onto his forehead with his fingers. Beside him a man with short dark hair bows his head, hand to his brow. Behind them other people in white clothes and red shawls sit in rows, and a woman at right touches her forehead.
