A crowd of devotees, mostly women and some men, dressed in white clothing gathers in front of a large banyan tree with thick aerial roots and a low stone platform. Many have their palms pressed together in anjali mudra, and several have eyes closed or heads bowed in prayer or meditation. A woman in front wears a purple and magenta sari, and another wears a turquoise shawl and sunglasses. Dappled sunlight falls across the tree trunk and the seated participants.
