A long orange-draped dining hall during a bhandara-style meal, with low wooden tables set in a row along the right wall, each with steel thali plates. Seated monks and sadhus in saffron and orange robes sit cross-legged at the tables, several with shaved heads and rudraksha malas. A seated sadhu in the foreground wears an orange-brown turban, a gold necklace and a rudraksha mala, smiling. Devotees in colourful saris and shawls, including women in green, yellow and pink, walk along the aisle, while a young boy in blue stands among them. No appearance-based candidate for the a person is clearly identifiable here, so the a person field is set to none.
