Five children and a young woman stand barefoot in a wide-legged squat on a pale tiled floor in a bare classroom-style room. The woman on the left wears a black-and-white striped top, white trousers and glasses, with a purple lanyard. The boy beside her wears a white t-shirt and jeans; the boy in the centre wears a grey polo with pink collar and black trousers; the boy at right wears a yellow t-shirt and grey shorts; the girl at far right wears an orange top and black trousers. All have arms outstretched with palms open in a playful stance. A whiteboard stands behind them and a red-draped table sits at left. This is a photo of a group activity, not a ritual, with no visible deity or fire.
