A photograph of women seated at a long row of white tables eating a meal served on banana leaves. Several women wear rust-orange saris with yellow borders and bangles, and some wear rudraksha-style beaded necklaces. Each leaf holds rice, yellow dal, vegetable curries, pickles, sliced banana and papadam, with water glasses set beside them. A white cloth covers the table edge at right and a patterned red carpet lies beneath. The scene conveys an organised communal meal in an ashram hall.
