In the foreground, a large group of women in white and cream clothes sit cross-legged on mats and woven rugs, facing a row of small circular raised platforms. On these platforms, several practitioners sit in meditation or ritual posture: one in an orange robe, others in yellow and white clothing. Stone sculptures and statues stand in the background among the greenery. A concrete platform with red and white painted edges is at right, and a silver car is parked at left. A few people are also seated at the far left in colourful clothing.
