A large seated group of men and young men in white and light shirts sits cross-legged on a red floor mat with green borders during a meal at a tented event. Several hold small leaf or paper plates of food, and paper napkins and small bowls lie on the mat. Behind them hangs a green and yellow banner with sunflower prints and a framed portrait labelled "Nithyananda Ilaignar Amaippu" showing a saffron-turbaned figure with a pale golden shawl. Tamil signs hang on the tent wall. No one is clearly identified as a person, and no one is in a prominent seat.
