A photograph of a long row of seated monastics in saffron and orange robes inside an orange tent, facing a wooden table set with steel plates and marigold garlands. The nearest seated figure wears a tall orange turban, a dark beaded mala and a wristwatch, and is smiling while seated on the floor. Others sit beside him with hands pressed in anjali, and several plates hold yellow flowers. A figure in a yellow-and-white garment stands at the left edge, and the scene suggests a shared meal (annadan) during a gathering.
