Outdoors on a dirt ground, a woman with long dark hair sits cross-legged in meditation with eyes closed and hands in a mudra on her knees, wearing a white dhoti-style garment with gold border and an orange-red shawl over one shoulder, with a gold bangle on her wrist. Behind her, a second woman in pale pink and cream attire sits in meditation on a mat, and more people in white with orange shawls sit further back among ash-covered ground. Behind them stands a dark stone bull statue draped with a garland of red and yellow flowers, beside white-painted walls and palm trees.
