Outdoors under a large spreading banyan tree with thick grey-brown branches and dense green leaves, a crowd of children sits cross-legged on bare earth in a shaded grove.

A man in white clothes stands at the right edge of the frame, apart from the seated group, while the children face toward him as if listening.
