Seven shaved-headed young boys in saffron-orange robes with maroon borders stand in a row beside a chain-link fence with green leafy trees behind them. Several have white vibhuti or sandalwood markings on their foreheads and wear beaded rudraksha-style malas around their necks. Some boys are smiling and making playful poses, raising arms and hands, while others stand more still. The setting is outdoors on a light concrete floor, bright and sunny.
