Many men sit cross-legged in rows on a bare concrete floor, eating a meal served on green banana leaves. Most wear white shirts and white dhotis; several have orange or saffron shawls draped over their shoulders. Steel tumblers sit beside each leaf. A man in a white dhoti stands barefoot in the middle, pouring food from a steel bucket to the diners. The meal includes white rice and yellow-orange curried vegetables. Dappled sunlight falls across the floor and a pillar edge is visible at right.

Several seated men in white dhotis and white shirts, some with orange saffron scarves draped over their shoulders, eat from banana leaves laid in a long row. Servers in white and pale striped shirts bend over the leaves, ladling rice and dishes from steel pots and buckets. Steel tumblers sit beside each leaf, and a child in shorts stands among the servers. This appears to be an annadan style feeding line.
