Inside a brightly lit room with a low ceiling fan, a large group of people, mostly women, are gathered. Many are dressed in white shirts and blue-and-purple patterned skirts and headwraps. Some are sitting on wooden drums, beating them rhythmically. Others stand, clapping and raising their arms, appearing to be singing or chanting. Windows line one wall, casting light into the room. The atmosphere is lively and energetic, suggesting a celebration or religious gathering.
