Evening meal in a large tent with red floor and red-and-white walls. Many people in saffron and orange robes sit cross-legged on the red carpet with metal plates and tumblers, eating. Along the right side, seated figures in saffron sit behind low gold-coloured tables with plates. A woman in a purple sari and another in a yellow sari serve food, and a man in orange stands at right. Overhead lights hang from white canvas roof. Numbers are too many for an exact count but the crowd is large.

Photo of a large seated communal meal inside a red-walled tent with a red carpet. Many people sit cross-legged on the floor in saffron and orange robes, several with orange head wraps, eating from silver thali plates with small steel cups. Women in yellow, pink and green saris move between the rows serving food, and a row of gold-edged low tables with plates stands at right. Red and white tent panels and orange-tipped poles frame the hall.
