Three men in front wear orange cloths with rudraksha malas and bronze-coloured bangles; the man on the right holds a paper cup and the central man reaches toward a leaf plate of rice, sweets and chutneys. Several shaved-headed boys in orange sit behind them, some with white forehead markings. Paper cups and plates are arranged in front, and a figure in white is partly visible at the upper left. The scene appears to be a communal meal in a hall.
