A dusk photograph of an outdoor courtyard with dirt ground and stacked white plastic chairs in the foreground. A group of about two dozen people, mostly young men and women with some boys, stand and move among the chairs. Many men wear white dhotis, some bare-chested with sacred threads and beaded necklaces, one in a white shirt. Several women wear white or orange saris with orange shawls and beaded necklaces. Behind them are orange-painted single-storey buildings with corrugated tin awnings and a palm tree at right. The scene looks like a playful group activity or game among residents of an ashram school.
