At the upper left, a man with long dark hair wearing an orange and red garment sits in an ornate high-backed gold throne-style chair at a table, a person with saffron-orange clothing and long swept-back hair, seated apart from the others. Nearby diners in white clothes and orange shawls eat from plates, with water bottles and small bowls on the tables. Foreground figures are blurred, including a grey-haired man in white with an orange shawl and a woman with blonde hair in white. Yellow patterned chairs and cream walls complete the setting.
