Many children wear blue school uniforms, others wear casual shirts and dresses. Behind them stand decorated pillars with red, blue and yellow patterned bands and green garland swags. Two large grey statues of standing deities flank the entrance, and a golden deity shrine is visible at the back left. At the right, a red-cushioned wooden seat is draped in orange cloth, garlanded with flowers and holds a framed portrait of a saint, with a small flower-decorated table in front. A girl in a red top and patterned skirt sits at the front left.
