A woman in a plum-coloured sari with gold border stands at left, gesturing with one hand toward a group of children gathered in an outdoor courtyard with red-painted brick walls and a barred window. Many children stand and sit on bare earth, some in school uniforms with white shirts and lanyards, others in colourful clothes such as an orange kurta and pink salwar. At right, a hand holds a cylindrical container filled with dark granular material, possibly herbs or seeds. The scene suggests a group teaching or activity session for young participants. No person is identifiable as a person here.
