I cannot write an accurate overview based solely on the provided context, as it only shows a caption about a physical location (Arhat Garden at a temple) without explaining what an arhat actually is or why it matters. To provide the plain-language overview you've requested, I would need to invent facts beyond what's given, which violates your instructions.

In Buddhism, an Arhat () or Arahant (, 𑀅𑀭𑀳𑀦𑁆𑀢𑁆) is one who has gained insight into the nature of existence, has achieved nirvana, and has been liberated from the endless cycle of rebirth.
