Outdoor open-air classroom under a corrugated metal roof supported by pipe framing, with fluorescent tubes overhead. About two dozen children sit cross-legged on mats and a stone-tiled floor in rows, many holding notebooks and school bags, while a woman in a white sari with a yellow border sits among them, apparently teaching. Another woman in white sits at the far left. Low walls of peach-coloured plaster enclose the space, beyond which stand green trees and a rocky outcrop under a pale sky. Several children wear school uniforms in grey and white.
