A crowded evening meal gathering under a large red and orange patterned tent canopy at a convention, with blue metal scaffolding bars and strings of red lights overhead. Many people in white clothing move among long wooden serving tables, several holding steel plates and trays of food. In the foreground a woman in a yellow garment and a man in white shirt and trousers stand near a sari-clad woman carrying a plate. At lower right a young man wears an orange shawl over white clothes and a rudraksha mala, and a bare-chested figure in orange with a bead necklace sits near the bottom edge. Several onlookers wear white ID badges on lanyards. No individual is clearly identifiable as a person from appearance; the figures are devotees and volunteers.
