A group of devotees sits cross-legged in meditation on a large black polished stone slab beside a massive banyan tree with hanging aerial roots. Most wear white shirts and white dhotis, with a boy in an orange shirt seated at the front, a man in a light blue shirt and another in maroon and white nearby. A woman in a pink sari stands among the trees behind them, and a seated figure in white clothes sits on a raised platform at the right beside a marigold garland hung on the tree. Sandy ground and a low concrete edge surround the scene.
