A long communal dining table with many men seated closely along both sides eating a meal from green leaf plates. Each plate holds rice, vegetables and flatbread, with white paper cups of water or drink placed along the table. Several diners wear white shirts, one wears a blue shirt and another a red-and-white striped shirt. Heads are bent over plates as people eat with their right hands or spoons. The setting appears to be a simple dining hall, consistent with an annadan meal service. No individual is clearly identifiable as a person.
