Devotees sit cross-legged on a tiled floor eating a meal from metal bowls and clay cups, a scene of communal annadan-style dining in an ashram hall. Most wear orange shawls over white or casual clothes. A man in the centre has a long orange shawl and white kurta and a dark bag strap; another man at lower left wears a white kurta and orange shawl. Plates hold food with orange and red tones, and a clay cup is set on the floor. Several others in the background are seated and eating or in prayer posture, with a bright shrine-like altar at upper right.
