Women in terracotta-red and pink saris with gold borders sit in a long row on the floor, leaning forward over steel plates of rice and curries during a communal meal. Several wear rudraksha malas, bangles and white forehead markings, and one at left has a long braid with a pink-and-maroon sari. A man in a white dhoti with gold border stands at upper right, holding a steel vessel above the row. White paper cups line the front edge of the table-like surface. The scene looks like an annadan style meal served to seated devotees.
