A photograph of a long row of seated men in saffron and orange robes eating a communal meal at wooden low tables. Many have shaved heads and wear rudraksha malas on their arms; several are holding food from green leaf plates, and paper cups with colourful printed designs sit along the tables. Behind them is a red curtain, a white podium on the left, and a blue banner with white lettering on the right, with two standing fans at the top right.
