A photograph of a large open hall with a corrugated metal roof and bare concrete floor, where thirty to forty children sit cross-legged in rows facing the same direction, seemingly in meditation or quiet attention. Several children wear white shirts with orange or yellow lanyard tags, while others wear yellow, green, turquoise and striped clothing. Adults in white saris and white garments stand along the walls and between the rows, one older woman in a white sari at right with arms folded. Small speakers hang from the walls and beams, and white plastic chairs are stacked at the left edge. No clearly identifiable a person figure is visible; a figure in orange garments stands near the back left.
