A photograph of several seated men in saffron-orange sannyasi clothing eating a meal from green banana leaves on the floor, with small white paper cups set among the leaves. Several men have white ash marks on their foreheads and bare shoulders and arms marked with white paste, and some wear rudraksha malas. A framed portrait of a saffron-robed figure hangs on a wall at the top, and a green sheet is visible at the upper right. The man in the foreground on the right wears a red bindi-style mark and holds a tumbler, looking off to the side.
