A photograph of a Kannada class in a plain whitewashed hall with pale yellow partitions and a ceiling fan. A teacher in white clothes sits on a blue plastic chair at the front, facing a seated group of about twenty students on a striped rug. Most students wear white kurtas and orange shawls draped over their shoulders, and several have shaved heads. On a side table, a framed portrait garlanded with orange and white flowers shows a saffron-robed figure, next to a smaller framed picture of a white-clad woman. A potted palm stands beside the table, and a red and gold patterned cloth hangs on the wall.
