Seated participants sit cross-legged on mats along a long row of banana leaves at a hall, each leaf holding served food such as rice, yellow and white sides, and a small fried item. A woman in a green salwar kameez with an orange shawl leans forward gesturing, beside an older woman in a cream printed saree with an orange shawl and a visible badge. A man in white dhoti and orange shawl stands at the left end of the row, and water bottles sit beside the leaves. Red curtains, framed pictures and a stage with chairs appear in the background.
