Students in white clothes with orange shawls sit on a green mat and a worn stone floor in a courtyard with weathered walls and an arched niche door. A man in a striped shirt stands bent over them, apparently instructing. Several participants hold notebooks and brass instruments, one of which is a udal-style drum laid on the floor, and a red Sonic bag sits on the mat. Some wear white turbans, others are bareheaded, and one has long curly hair.
