Outdoor scene beneath a large spreading tree with reddish bark. A lit oil lamp or flame is set against the trunk, held near the base by a bare-chested man with long dark hair wearing orange cloth, apparently performing a ritual at the tree. Two more bare-chested people with long hair and orange garments stand nearby, one in the foreground with his back to the camera. On the left, a man in a white shirt films with a handheld video camera while a man with a shaved head and glasses, in a dark top, looks on. White PVC pipes lie on the ground beside a muddy patch, and orange and red buildings and a red boundary wall appear in the background. The description contains no a person-specific cues, so the candidate status is uncertain.
