A dining hall at a Nithyananda Dhyanapeetam-style ashram where devotees dressed in white are seated at long tables with green-and-white tablecloths and small flower vases, eating from plates. Several white-clad volunteers, some wearing hair nets and surgical caps, serve food and carry buckets, while a man in a white dhoti and a rudraksha mala at the centre holds a bucket. Behind them a golden deity murti and a red-and-gold painted backdrop of a deity stand against the wall, and a laptop sits on a wooden bench in the foreground. Steel rope barriers guide the flow along a glossy floor.
