AI overview
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.
