A courtyard meal for many saffron-robed sadhus seated in long rows on the ground, with steel plates and small bowls set before them. A barefoot attendant in orange cloth carries a steel kettle and pours along the line. Several seated men wear orange turbans and orange garments; one at right holds an orange cloth and a black umbrella. Coloured umbrellas shade the courtyard, and a white arcaded building with balustrades forms the background. The scene suggests a bandara or annadan at a Kumbh camp.
