In the foreground a woman with long wavy blonde hair and a red bindi sits cross-legged in a red embroidered kurta with white trousers, holding a small open book and reading aloud. Behind her, several women in saffron, white, blue and beige saris and salwar kameez sit on the floor, one reading from a book, with a steel water bottle and a white bottle nearby. Chairs are visible along the back wall. The scene suggests a scripture-reading session of the Bhagavad Gita.
