Students Studying Under Patna Cloister During Snowstorm

Late spring light falls through the open arches of a university cloister in Patna, illuminating rows of polished stone floors where students hunch over silver laptops. Outside the shelter, heavy snow falls, against the damp, darkened campus paths visible in the background. Books stack beside keyboards on low wooden tables, their pages catching the diffuse skylight. The architecture features weathered brick and rounded arches typical of the region. Rainwater beads on the stone edges, while the students remain focused, their forms receding into the depth of the covered walkway. A wet footprint marks the edge of the dry floor near the nearest student's chair.
