Three men in saffron and orange robes sit side by side at a long table covered with a pink and white floral cloth, eating meals served on green banana leaves with small steel cups and bowls. The man in the centre wears glasses, and the man on the right has a grey beard. Behind them, a glass display cabinet holds small objects, and a banner reads "Things Used by Paramahamsa in his young age" in Kannada and Tamil. Other people in white and orange clothes are visible at the right edge. The setting resembles a dining hall at an ashram.
