A seated group of devotees in plain white clothing sits on white plastic chairs and a floor mat inside a thatched bamboo-roofed hall, each holding a plate, apparently sharing a meal. Behind them a wall displays framed photographs: a black-and-white image of a seated figure in white on a pedestal, a painted-style picture of a saffron-robed figure seated in a mountain landscape, and a small photo of two saffron-robed men side by side. A dark cloth hangs on the left and a bamboo lattice screen covers the upper wall. A tall bamboo pole stands in the foreground. Visible people number about ten or more.
