This photograph captures a nighttime procession in Pagongan, Indonesia, featuring a large, effigy-like structure resembling a monstrous figure. The effigy is covered in dried leaves and has a grotesque green face with a protruding red tongue. It is being carried on bamboo poles by several men walking in the street. In the foreground, a man with green-painted skin and a patterned sarong is walking towards the camera. Other individuals are visible in the background, some holding flags and banners, and decorative lights illuminate the scene. The setting appears to be a street lined with buildings and utility poles, with strings of small flags strung across the sky. The atmosphere suggests a cultural or religious event.
