A rural mud-walled house with a blue tarpaulin roof over a thatched ridge stands on bare dirt ground beside scrubby green fields under a cloudy sky. A woman in a pink and orange sari holds a paper or booklet and stands near a small boy sitting on a blue plastic chair; a green plastic chair sits nearby. Through the open doorway a person in white clothing is visible inside. Painted geometric symbols decorate the whitewashed wall, and a bucket and sandals rest by the step. No a person is visible.
