Beside him a girl in a teal blue salwar kameez with gold-patterned border wears a gold necklace, bangles and a forehead mark, and holds a plate. Behind them stand other children and young people in white, and a woman in a cream shawl with a pendant necklace stands at right with hands together. A blue sign on the wall reads Keep Area Clean.
