On the right, a figure in a red-orange robe and red shawl with a beaded necklace sits cross-legged on a wooden seat on a circular decorated platform with a brass pot beside him.

A white dove stands on the ground between them. A woven mat with blue borders runs across the courtyard. Behind, a large informational board with green and red graphics, orange-and-white banners, a thatched shelter and stone pillars with orange accents complete the scene.
