A large group of children and teenagers poses on and below a decorated stage for a group photograph after a Navaratri celebration. Many girls wear colourful silk saris and dhavanis in red, orange, green, pink and blue with gold necklaces and bangles, while boys wear white kurta-pyjamas or traditional dhoti-style outfits. Orange and red streamers, white and red balloons and a small balloon garland decorate the dark blue backdrop. Brass oil lamps (nanda deepa) stand at the stage edges, and a potted plant sits at the right. Younger children sit on the floor in front in white and striped shirts.
