An elderly sage with a long gray beard and worn brown cotton robe stands back to the left, hands joined, watching proudly from the shadow.

The central figure is Suren, a gentle, serene-faced man with worry-lined eyes, wearing a creased cream linen robe and worn sandals, holding a pale blue glowing pebble engraved with tiny gold letters and offering it to the crowd; to his right stands Mei, a ~10-year-old girl with braided black hair playing a reed flute and gazing at the pebble in wonder from the temple step, and to his left is Lila, an elderly woman (~65) with parchment-like wrinkled skin and a jasmine-patterned dress, smiling benevolently with hands clasped as if blessing the moment. Behind them villagers of all ages pass the pebble hand to hand with joyful, attentive expressions and slow, respectful gestures. The setting is the forecourt of a small stone hilltop temple—worn wide steps, two mossy stone lions, red silk banners, orange paper lanterns drifting in the breeze, and a moonlit river below. The scene focuses on sharing the pebble of truth: the pebble’s soft light contrasting with the warm glow of lanterns, faces lit by both sources, an intimate, solemn atmosphere with warm colors and tactile textures (rough stone, polished wood, creased fabric).
