Two seated men eat from steel plates on a tiled floor during a meal. The man on the left, bald and wearing glasses, wears an orange saffron cloth and a bead necklace, and uses his fingers to eat. The man on the right, with a shaved head, wears a white dhoti and shawl with gold borders, a rudraksha mala and a small pendant, and keeps his hand on his plate. Plates hold fried snacks and rice, with paper cups nearby. Partial figures in orange robes sit at the edges. The setting looks like an ashram dining gathering.
