A photograph of children seated on pink mats on a marble floor in a pillared open hall. Near the back, a figure in an orange-saffron garment and an adjacent figure in white stand beside a golden tiered pedestal decorated with orange-red flower garlands and a white cloth. A large pink-and-white banner hangs above with a portrait labelled in Telugu and a line reading Little Anandas Sankranti. Several children in school uniforms, striped shirts and white dresses look down at pink paper sheets, some holding them up, while a girl in a yellow-green dress and shawl stands at left and a girl in a cream dress and braid stands at right. The figures in the background appear to be adult devotees around a deity pedestal.
