A photograph of a group of women sitting together on a raised concrete platform beneath a frangipani tree beside a white wall. They wear white cream-coloured saris and dhotis with gold borders and rudraksha malas around their necks. A woman seated on a white plastic chair at right, wearing glasses and a white sari with a gold border, holds open papers and gestures with one raised hand while others lean in to read. Several women nearby read printed sheets and listen. Some are barefoot and a few have red kumkum on their foreheads. The scene looks like a relaxed study or discussion session outdoors.
