premise: A group of people engaged in some sort of outdoor gathering or ritual.
hypothesis: People gathering to pray for a friend.
explanation_1: Gathering outdoors for a ritual is not always to pray; not all such gatherings are for a friend.
explanation_2: Just because people are gathered for a ritual does not mean they're praying for a friend.
explanation_3: People can gather without necessarily being there to pray.
