A dining hall scene where saffron-robed sannyasis sit on both sides of a long table covered with a blue cloth, eating from banana leaves. Servers in white clothes with orange shawls, one bald and in white, stand at left serving food from steel bowls and pots. A seated figure in the centre-right wears an orange robe with a rudraksha mala and long dark hair, smiling and eating with his hands. Another orange-clad sannyasi at right has a grey beard and a head wrap. Steel cups, bowls of rice, fried snacks and sweets sit on the leaves. Behind them, a glass cabinet and a wall with a printed board in Kannada and English. Cannot confirm the seated central figure is a person from appearance alone, so the identity is left uncertain.
