A dining hall where saffron-robed young devotees stand in rows beside long banana-leaf meal spreads, handling food. Several figures wear orange turbans, rudraksha malas, and white body markings on the arms and chest, and they hold rice or sweets in their hands. A younger girl in an orange turban and beaded mala, at lower right, holds food in both hands while looking up. Long plates of food and small cups line the floor-level tables, and a striped mat covers part of the floor. Framed pictures hang on the back wall. No single figure can be identified as a person from the visible cues, so the a person field is unsure.
