Three young male students sit cross-legged in meditation on a white cloth on a bare floor in front of a red stage with maroon curtains. The boy on the left, bare-chested, wears a pink-and-white checked cloth and white dhoti with white markings on his body. The middle boy wears an orange dhoti and a beaded rudraksha-style mala with a white forehead band, and a brass kalasha-style vessel sits beside him. The boy on the right, bare-chested, wears an orange dhoti, red beaded mala and white forehead marking, hands folded in his lap with eyes closed. Wooden seats or stands rest beside them. Yellow tape runs along the floor. The scene reflects a meditation or yoga practice session.
