A group of meditators sits on the ground beneath a large banyan tree with thick aerial roots and spreading branches. Many participants wear white clothes with orange shawls draped over their shoulders, sitting cross-legged on dry leaf litter and rocks. A white-haired woman in white sits at the left edge beside an orange-and-purple bag, and a few people sit on raised stone platforms further back. The scene looks like an outdoor meditation session in a grove.
