Girls and young women sit cross-legged in rows on white cloth beneath a large banyan tree with many aerial roots, eyes closed in meditation. Clothing includes bright green and peach salwar kameez, a yellow kurta, a light blue floral top, and white uniform-style shirts. Several wear bangles, earrings and necklaces. Behind them a crowd of boys and girls sits in the shade, and a few adults stand further back. Dappled green foliage fills the background.
