A photograph of a large tented hall during a communal meal event. Dozens of people in white clothes sit cross-legged on mats and floor cloths in rows, with green banana leaf plates laid out in front of them, some with small cups. Attendants in white and orange-saffron garments walk between the rows carrying steel vessels to serve food. Several women in cream and orange saffron saris stand near the centre. Tall cylindrical hanging decorations in yellow, red, blue and patterned fabric with elephant motifs hang from the white tent ceiling. At the far end, a stage has a dark maroon curtain and a blue draped backdrop with the word Ashramsay visible. Potted plants and white chairs stand at the left edge.
