A large hall with white draped fabric ceiling and pink walls hosts a seated meal or ritual gathering. Rows of people sit cross-legged on the polished floor before green banana leaves set with food, while others in white clothes move between the rows. Brightly painted decorated pillars with tassels line the hall, and framed portraits hang on the side walls. Two white cups and a green leaf sit on a red mat in the foreground, flanked by potted green plants. A few people in white kurtas and saris are seated, and a crowd in colourful saris and white clothing fills the middle and far areas near a distant altar.
