Photograph of saffron-robed sannyasi monks seated cross-legged on a mat in a temple hall, eating a meal served on fresh green banana leaves with rice, curries and fried items, with small paper cups placed along the row. The foreground monk has white tripundra lines on his forehead and body, a rudraksha mala, an orange shawl and a gold-bordered dhoti, and is speaking while gesturing with his hand. Other monks sit further back in matching orange garments. A small ornate throne or peetha with a seated figure stands at the back right beside a framed picture. Red curtains and a colourful decorated pillar frame the background, and a metal bell and a mobile phone lie on the floor.
