Three men in saffron-orange robes and matching saffron head coverings sit side by side on an orange sofa, heads bowed as they read small booklets. In front of them a low table covered with a gold-and-white floral cloth holds three empty stainless steel plates and a steel tumbler, while a plastic water bottle and a bowl of sweets sit at the right edge. Bright sunlight floods the pale wall behind them.
