A photograph of a large hall with a curved metal roof and blue walls, where thirty or more boys and young people sit cross-legged on a concrete floor writing on sheets of white paper. Many wear white t-shirts and grey or dark trousers, and several wear purple caps. A large framed portrait draped in purple cloth stands at the back centre, showing a seated figure in orange-gold robes with a deity-like altar in front of it. Two more framed portraits flank the hall, one showing a man in a white turban and another in a white head covering, with volunteers in white moving between them. Purple and yellow banners hang on the walls. The scene suggests a children's residential programme with participants studying quietly.
