A group of saffron-robed young monks and older sannyasis stand in a long line inside a hall with cream-coloured draped ceiling fabric and tall decorative striped pillars. Several boys with shaved heads wear orange dhotis and rudraksha malas, and they hold small portions of food in their cupped hands, lifting them toward the mouths of the men beside them who are feeding each other in turn. Several banana leaf plates with rice, sweets and fruit sit on the floor in front. An older man in an orange shawl and a rudraksha mala stands at the right edge smiling, and the men wear white tilak markings on their foreheads and arms. Multiple people in the scene, nothing appears to be a portrait or screen.
