A classroom photograph of about a dozen children in orange-saffron robes seated at red wooden benches against green-painted walls. Several boys have shaved heads and white tilak markings on their foreheads; girls have long dark hair and wear beaded necklaces. Most are reading open books or papers, and a child in the foreground holds an open book with pictures. One boy at the right smiles with hands pressed together. A framed portrait of a bearded man in white hangs on the back wall, but it is a printed picture, not a physical person. No a person candidate is clearly visible among the physical people.
