("NA-IH-ES" aka "Sunrise Ceremony"). For many girls, this is a very frightening experience because they are near exhaustion when suddenly they are overwhelmed by bodies, arms and legs flying at them from every direction. Usually, the burden basket is full to overflowing; the more there, the longer it takes people to pick up every piece, and the more time the girl has to catch her breath and composure. This is a rare photograph because few photographers are willing to risk themselves or their equipment to get the photo, and photos taken from a safe distance typically look like a photograph of a rugby ruck.
