A long dining hall with a row of men seated at a metal table eating from banana leaves, with pieces of bread, a banana and a small side dish in front of them. A person in an orange robe with long dark hair, a rudraksha mala and a tilak on the forehead stands at right holding a stainless steel pot and serving food; this is a probable Swamiji depiction by appearance, shown serving meals as annadan. Men in white shirts and checked shirts sit in the background. Ceiling fans and fluorescent tube lights hang overhead, and a small logo appears in the upper left corner.
