She wears a cream sari with a gold-bordered hem and a saffron-orange shawl draped over one shoulder, and a gold bangle on her wrist. Behind her, two more women in white garments with saffron-orange shawls sit in similar posture. Grey stone sculptures and green foliage stand in the background, with small scattered stones and pale embers on the ground.
