Large indoor dining hall during a community meal, with rows of long tables and red plastic chairs filled with hundreds of seated people. Most diners wear white clothing, and many sit with plates of food before them. Some people sit on the floor along the left wall eating from plates, while staff in white move between the tables. Tall windows and white perforated balcony railings line the upper walls, and the scene reads as an annadan style meal service.
