Participants sit cross-legged in long rows on the floor of a hall, eating a communal meal from green banana-leaf plates laid on white cloth. Many wear white or red and orange garments with saffron-coloured shawls draped over their shoulders. A woman in the foreground wears a white sari with a gold border, and another in a red blouse and yellow sari sits at the right. Water bottles and cups stand beside the leaves, and steel vessels of food sit on a serving counter at the back. A woman in a pink dress stands in the middle, and some people with white clothes and red shawls stand near the serving area. A portrait hangs on the wall at top left, and a red-curtained doorway is at the right.

A seated communal meal in a tiled hall. Many people sit cross-legged on mats in front of banana leaf plates heaped with rice and vegetable dishes, with small white cups and glasses placed between them. Most seated participants wear white kurta-style or white tops with red-orange shawls around their necks and lanyards, while a woman in a teal salwar and a woman in a red sari eat from their leaves.
