Photograph of a large hall where many saffron-robed monks and young novices sit cross-legged on mats in rows, with leaf plates and small cups set before them, apparently for a meal. In the foreground a bald, shaved-headed man in white dhoti and a saffron shawl stands bent over, serving or attending the seated group. Behind them, many people in white and pink clothing sit and stand, and a figure in a red sari stands near the centre. Pillars wrapped in striped blue, yellow and red cloth hang from a draped ceiling, red curtained windows line the walls, and a framed picture is mounted on the back wall. Watermarked copyright overlay in the corner.
