A photograph of a row of saffron-robed monastics and a small child in orange clothing standing in a tent-like hall with decorated striped poles overhead. Several adult men in orange and red-orange robes with rudraksha malas stand in a line, holding food offerings in their cupped hands and smiling. The boy in front, wearing an orange robe and a beaded necklace, looks up and holds out a small piece of food. Green leaf plates with yellow food sit on the floor, and a few mobile phones rest on the mat in front.
