Curtis wrote about this: "This picture was taken some minutes before sunrise, when the moon yet retained much of its brilliancy. The devotees were dancing in a regular way, and notwithstanding, the cold, gray light, the exposure of the plate was sufficiently brief to show them clearly, without a trace of movement."
