A group of boys sits cross-legged on the floor of a plain ashram hall with light tiled flooring and mats, eating from leaf or steel plates placed on woven mats. Most wear casual clothes in orange, yellow, green and red stripes, plus checked and grey shirts; one older boy in front wears a white dhoti with a bare upper body and a thin sacred thread, and several have white tilak marks on their foreheads. Bananas and small bowls of food lie around them. A seated man in a white shirt watches from the back, and a white-clad figure is partly visible at the top left, with red curtains and a white plastic chair behind. The scene looks like a communal meal or annadan.
