Children sit cross-legged on the floor of an open-sided concrete pavilion for a free tuition class, many holding small slate boards and notebooks and writing or drawing. A red patterned rug covers part of the floor, and school bags are scattered around. An adult woman in an orange sari stands near the back left, and a water tank sits on a wall behind them, with trees and dry grass beyond. Some children wear school uniforms, others colourful kurtas, frocks and shirts. No a person candidate is visible.
