In the foreground a long-haired man in an orange sleeveless robe leans over a table, serving food from a large steel vessel onto a banana leaf. Beside him stand two saffron-robed monks, one bald and one holding the vessel. A seated elderly bald man in white clothes and glasses watches at the right. Further back, other people in white and yellow clothes move among the tables. A banner-like sign on the far wall is not legible.
