A seated communal meal in a tent with red walls and marigold garlands. Many people sit along rows of low tables, with brass plates of food, rice and sweets in front of them. Several men in saffron and orange robes with rudraksha malas sit in the foreground, one bald monk in orange closest to the camera. Others in white shirts serve food from metal vessels. A figure in an orange turban sits further back. The scene reads as an annadan style meal at a satsang camp.
