A photograph of a long hall where many people sit on blue plastic chairs at long metal-topped tables, eating from steel plates and tumblers of water. Several robed figures in saffron and orange clothing, some with white dhotis, stand and walk through the room near serving tables. Ceiling fans hang from a blue steel-framed roof, a wall clock is mounted on the back wall, and decorative colourful cloth-wrapped pillars with orange tassels line the walls. Some seated men wear white dhotis and orange shawls. The scene appears to be a communal meal in an ashram dining hall, with a woman in a white sari serving near the left wall. No identifiable a person candidate is clearly present.
