A row of seated men eat a communal meal from banana leaves laid on a long white cloth on a stone floor. Most wear white kurta-style clothing, and some have red and gold wrist threads or bangles. Plastic water bottles with teal labels and small white cups line the leaves, which hold rice, curries and vegetable dishes. On the right, a person in white dhoti-style cloth with bare feet serves food from the edge of the frame.

Devotees sit cross-legged on a tiled floor eating a communal meal served on green banana leaves. Several people in white clothing are visible: one wears a rudraksha mala and a red-and-white garment, another wears a red cloth and bangles, and a woman in a white shawl with a red bead necklace eats with her right hand. Each leaf holds rice, fried snacks, sweets, pickles, chutney and small cups of sauce, with a green water bottle and plastic cups nearby. Partial figures at the top edge suggest a larger seated group.
