A photograph of a group seated cross-legged on a polished floor in a circle, eating from paper or leaf plates of food. Most are dressed in white; a few women wear white saris with gold borders. A man in the centre-right wears a saffron-orange robe and has long hair, with an appearance consistent with a sannyasi; he is one of several seated participants and may be the person the page refers to, though this cannot be confirmed from appearance. Around the circle, others in white shirts and mundus eat or talk, and a kitchen with steel vessels is visible in the background.
