I like the exposure on this photo. The light might be just a tad bright on some parts of the front womans face, but its not too bad. I do like the skin textures and the eye contact she makes with anyone looking at the image. I think the second lady provides a question, as to where were the women and what are they doing. Probably adds some sort of a candid nature to the phot rather than a pose.

I can see toning down the highlights just a bit.  And I noticed that I lost the detail in the foremost woman's shawl during editing.  (It's there in the original.)

At this temple there was some sort of ceremony/luncheon for a group of older women.  In the traditional fashion they each wore a white shawl/sash over their left shoulder.  I got there when things were winding down so can't tell you much more about what was happening.

Can't make up my mind whether I want the lighting to be more uniform or not... As it stands the closer one is much brighter. you could use shadows/highlights to tone her down and boost up the background one i suppose. up to you though!

Evening out the light is better, seems to me.  I sure produced a different look this time around.  Wonder if I sharpened the first version?
