A dimly lit hall with a plain grey wall where children sit cross-legged on the floor in rows, eating from metal plates containing food. Several girls wear white, yellow and multicoloured dresses, and one boy in a teal shirt and white shirt sits near the front. A woman in a red and yellow sari sits at the far left edge. A glass bottle stands among the seated rows. The scene suggests a communal meal, possibly an annadan, though the setting is too dark to show details clearly.
