A dim indoor hall where several men sit cross-legged on a floor with a painted rangoli-style design, facing a line of steel plates and small steel bowls set with water bottles. Most seated men wear saffron-orange robes and orange turbans; one at the front right wears an orange turban with a pinkish-orange robe, a rudraksha-style mala, and a yellow shawl draped over his shoulder. A man in a white shirt and dark trousers bends over the row, pouring or serving from a bottle. Pink-railed balcony and pillars frame the scene, with orange garlands visible above.

In the centre, a man with a black beard and orange head wrap sits beside an older bald man in an orange robe and yellow-and-orange marigold garland, who wears a rudraksha-style mala and a red bindi. Water bottles are placed between the plates, and a long orange cloth hangs from the upper right. Other seated monks in orange, ochre and peach robes line the background.
