A group of girls hang out in their hostel at the Rescue Foundation, a non-governmental organization founded to rescue young girls (some of whom are Devadasis) from brothels in and around Mumbai, India. The Foundation houses over 50 rescued girls at a time, most of whom are under the age of 18. Some of the girls arrive at the foundation pregnant and end up giving birth while in the Rescue Foundation's care.
