Outdoor photo of a long row of young men and some older men standing in a dusty open yard under shady trees, hands pressed together in anjali mudra with heads bowed, as in prayer or salutation. Most wear white or light shirts with dark blue trousers and belts; others wear checked or plaid shirts, and a few wear khaki or light trousers. Several sandals lie on the ground in the foreground. A building with a window stands behind the trees. The crowd is dense and extends beyond the frame.
