A white tented hall with gold draped valance set for a communal meal. Seated guests at round tables with orange cloths eat from divided white trays of rice, curries and dal; many wear white kurtas or shirts with red-and-black checked shawls and lanyards. In the foreground a woman with blonde hair and a man in a white shirt face the table. Behind them, saffron-robed monks and white-clad attendants stand near the tent edges, and a few people carry items. The scene suggests an annadan-style community lunch.
