A photograph of a seated community meal at an ashram hall with pink-and-white patterned panels. Rows of people sit on the white floor: monks in orange robes with shaved heads on the left, many in white clothes with red-and-orange shawls, and women in saris and orange garments. In the foreground, long rows of green banana leaves hold rice, fried snacks and small cups, with water bottles placed between them. Behind the rows, a figure in orange sits on an ornate golden throne-like seat beneath a golden lamp, with framed photographs displayed on the wall behind. The scene suggests a satsang lunch or annadan with devotees seated in rows.

A large hall with cream tiled floor and red-curtained doorways shows many people seated in rows on mats during a ritual meal or puja. Foreground devotees wear orange saffron cloth with gold borders, bare-shouldered, many with long braided or natural hair, and some wear beaded bracelets. Banana-leaf or green plates with food, cups and water bottles sit before them. Further back, figures in white and orange stand and sit near a raised dais with a golden throne-like seat, a small figure at its base, and a kalasha-style vessel. Framed photographs and banners line the walls. Some people here appear to be in more casual clothing.
