A seated group of saffron-robed sannyasis and devotees eats a meal from brass thali plates on a floor covered with a light mat, under a large tent with colourful striped walls and teal canopy. Several people in orange and red robes, some with orange head cloths, sit cross-legged, with white rice, dal and sweets on their plates. Some hold cloth napkins; a man in the foreground wears an orange shawl. Tents, hanging cloth and a bearded man in a pale robe with rudraksha beads appear in the background, consistent with a pilgrimage camp setting.
