In the foreground, a young boy in white with a gold-bordered dhoti and a red rudraksha mala sits beside a curly-haired boy in a cream kurta and red beads.

Some sit cross-legged on red cushions. In the foreground, a young boy in a maroon robe with gold trim sits with hands in prayer. Several boys in black shirts have white tilak marks across their foreheads, and a shaved-headed man in an orange robe and mala sits at the right edge. Small brass and puja items rest on the floor in front of the rows.
