The photograph has captured a stall for CRY (Child Rights and You) at Saarang (2005). CRY is an Indian non-governmental organisation (NGO) focused on child rights, underprivileged children, and the health, education and safety of children.

The colours of the stall are black, keeping in line with the sombre subject matter of the stall. The stall is lined with posters to raise awareness for the cause; there are also books and booklets on the topic, displayed.
