This photograph was taken during IIT Madras’ Fourth Institute Day. The guests and visitors were possibly welcomed at the Bose-Einstein Guest House before being escorted to the main function at the Open Air Theatre (OAT). The dark circular pillars of the building indicate that this photograph was taken outside the Bose-Einstein Guest House.
