A large hall with polished white floor where rows of women in saffron and orange saris sit cross-legged on green leaf mats, with small cups set before them, as a meal is served. In the foreground a woman in an orange sari with a white floral garland and gold bangle sits before a gold-edged low platform bearing a banana leaf, rice in a steel tray, and bowls of food and sweets; a second woman in a white sari with a beaded necklace sits beside her. Behind them stand more women in orange, and a gold-painted throne-like seat and golden figures appear at the back near saffron drapes. At left a man in a white dhoti with green cloth over his shoulder stands beside a framed portrait of a saffron-robed figure with a sign reading 9:46. The scene appears to be a communal meal in a temple-style hall.2012-04-23April 23 20132013-04-23August 02 20162016-08-02September 30 20162016-09-30April 23 20132013-04-23 +2 copiesA long row of seated people in orange saffron clothing eat from banana leaves laid on the floor of a hall.
