Photograph of a large pink-walled hall where rows of people in saffron and orange robes sit on the floor in a long line, with a second group of seated monastic men in orange robes facing the same direction near the front. Steel vessels with food, covered with banana leaves, sit on striped red, green and blue mats in front of the seated women, along with steel plates, bowls and tumblers. On the right, a woman in a deep red sari stands beside a green-cushioned seat and a standing fan. At the far end, a man in white stands near a draped orange cloth and a decorated altar area. Colourful striped tassels hang from the ceiling and a small banner of the bird-logo style appears in the upper left corner. Several people in white clothes stand at the back of the hall.
