Boys' school, Madras

Outdoor shot of a group of approx. 30-40 boys with bare upper bodies. They are sitting on the veranda of a house (= school) wearing only a hip scarf. Some of them are holding palm leaf manuscripts and books in their hands; the roof of the house is covered with ticks and palm leaf manuscripts hang down from the edge of the roof. A sign with illegible Tamil letters is hung on one of the house posts. The teacher sits slightly elevated, holding a stick and a book in his hands. Three girls are sitting on a staircase on the far right. In the background is a typical South Indian temple.
