Outdoor photo at a school-like compound with a white corrugated-roof building behind. A bare-backed figure with long dark hair, wearing only an orange cloth wrap, stands at centre facing a semicircle of children and young adults. Around him are potted flowering plants and a white-clad man in an orange shawl. Children in school uniforms, blue shirts, salwar kameez and orange shawls crowd the foreground and stand in lines to the right, many with hands folded or clasped behind their backs. A small stone platform sits beside the figure.
