A woman in white with an orange sash stands and reaches toward a figure, while a girl in white with an orange shawl kneels at left holding a decorated item. Several people in orange kneel in the foreground. Two metal deity figures are dressed in green and orange garments with ornate jewellery and crowns. A video camera operator at right films the scene with a watch visible on his wrist, and a gilded arch frames the top of the image.
