Many are clapping their hands in devotion while watching something out of frame. Several have painted foreheads and some have long swept-back hair. In the foreground a brass oil lamp stands on a white stone pedestal beside a carved stone pillar, and a cameraperson with a tripod films from the upper area. Red and yellow painted elements and a bright red wall frame the scene.
