A photograph of a large open-sided pavilion with a corrugated metal roof, hung with tall decorative cylindrical banners in orange, blue and red with floral and geometric patterns. Facing a raised stage at the back, rows of children sit cross-legged on the floor, many in colourful shirts. On the stage stands a shrine with a deity murti of Shiva and Parvati adorned with garlands, with a seated figure in front, and a small devotional tableau. A few adults sit near the stage at the right, and a tall white-clad figure stands at the right edge. Bright sunlight washes over the front of the image.
