In the centre, a man in orange robes with an orange shawl gestures while speaking. Beside him, a man in white with an orange shawl and a beaded mala also gestures in conversation. Others in white clothes and orange shawls, some with bangles, eat with their hands or spoons; a woman with a long braid sits in the foreground. Plastic water bottles, small bowls of curry and sweets are placed on the floor, and stacked chairs stand along the far side of the hall.
