A group of women walks away from the camera along a dusty dirt path, carrying tall bamboo staffs topped with orange cloth streamers. Most wear orange saris draped over the shoulder, and a few wear white garments. Their hair is long and dark, and some tie orange ribbons at the hair. Behind them stands a grey concrete block wall beside green shrubs and a tall tree under a cloudy sky. The people are barefoot, and the scene looks like a monastic training activity at an ashram site.
