Seated at long tables with green banana-leaf plates are about ten diners: women in red, pink and floral saris and men in white and a red-checked shirt. On the left, a framed portrait of a long-haired figure in orange robes with a garland sits on a draped table; the person in the portrait is a depiction. The scene shows a community meal being served, with a few partial figures at the edges.
