A photograph of a large hall with white walls and high windows where people are seated at long tables eating a meal served on green banana leaves with steel tumblers. A person in a bright orange robe and orange head wrap stands among the tables, while a man in white shirt and white dhoti holds a large silver tray. Many other people in white shirts, pale checked shirts and dhotis sit or stand along the rows, and a few women in saris are visible at the left. The atmosphere suggests a communal annadan meal in an ashram dining hall.
