A large white-walled hall with red curtained windows and framed portraits along the walls. Long rows of seated devotees, mostly in white clothes, sit on floor mats before banana-leaf plates and cups along a central aisle. Near the far stage, several figures in saffron-orange robes stand together by a low table. One standing figure at left, with a shaved head and white dhoti and shawl, walks along the side of the rows. Ceiling lights and a dark stage backdrop complete the scene, consistent with a communal meal during an inner-awakening lunch.
