Plates of food and fruit sit before them on mats. Several framed portraits of a long-haired saffron-clad figure hang on the walls. A man in orange robes and a rudraksha mala sits at the front right, with a shaved head and an orange shawl, apparently among the participants; his appearance is consistent with the page's a person reference but is not clearly distinctive enough to confirm, so the identity is uncertain.
