A large hall with many seated devotees on striped rugs eating from brass plates and leaf-style trays during a communal meal. Most attendees wear white, while others wear saffron, pink, blue, yellow and green saris and kurtas. Women are prominent, some with gold necklaces and bangles. Hanging decorative pillars with yellow, blue and red patterns line the walls, and a video camera on a tripod stands at the right side of the room. This appears to be a communal dining gathering.
