A photograph of a covered open-sided pavilion with a red carpet runner down the centre aisle. Rows of seated people are at long tables with plates and cups, many women in white and cream clothing with orange shawls or saffron-coloured sannyasi-style robes. Standing at the right edge, two long-haired men in orange robes watch the scene. Ceiling fans hang from the roof and a man in white stands near the far end of the room. The setting appears to be a communal meal served at an ashram event.
