Several young boys in saffron-orange robes sit close together outdoors, most of them looking forward with solemn or meditative expressions. The boy in the front centre has a shaved head, a folded saffron cloth across his shoulder and his hands together at his chest. Behind him another boy with folded palms and white forehead marks sits with eyes closed, and a boy at the far right holds a white paper. Adults in white and orange clothing sit in the background, one with a hand raised to his head. Several boys wear white sacred ash marks on their foreheads and beaded necklaces, and a child at left wears a white dhoti and sacred thread.
