Two young girls in plain white garments sit in meditation outdoors beneath a large banyan tree with thick, twisting aerial roots. The girl in front has her eyes closed, a small red bindi on her forehead, hair tied in side pigtails with yellow ties, and wears a long strand of rudraksha beads; her hands rest folded in her lap. Behind her, a second girl with a red hair clip and a red bindi also sits with closed eyes and rudraksha beads. Bare branches and blue sky frame the scene.
