A photo of a monthly written test in an open-sided pavilion with a corrugated roof strung with orange pennant flags. Young women and girls sit cross-legged on a bare floor in orange and white garments, writing on papers placed on their laps and on pink sheets. Some wear orange sarees and others white with teal tops; one standing figure in an orange saree walks between rows. Ornate painted pillars with floral patterns and a bird motif stand among the columns, and white wooden tables are set up near the sitters. Stone blocks and rubble lie in the background.
