Outdoors on bare sandy ground, several people sit cross-legged in a ring of glowing embers and ash arranged around a fire pit. The central man wears white clothes and a yellow shawl, eyes closed, hands resting on his knees in meditation. Beside him, another man in white with a yellow shawl sits with hands folded. Behind them, a woman in an orange-red top and a woman in cream clothes sit, and at right a bald man in white with a rudraksha mala sits on a mat. Behind them stand white stepped structures, a flowering arrangement, a dark stone block and tall palm trees.
