Two women sit with eyes closed in a crowded outdoor gathering, apparently in meditation. The woman on the left wears a grey striped shawl drawn over her head and a small red bindi. The woman on the right wears a maroon shawl over her head and a black shawl with orange, blue and cream stripes around her shoulders. Behind them a wooden rail and a dense crowd of people in white and dark clothing are visible, with a green cloth at the right edge. A man in white sits at the lower left. The scene suggests a satsang or meditation session.
