Outdoor food service under a pitched canopy with red and white draping and gold-trimmed red valances. Many people in white clothing, including men in white shirts and dhotis and women in white and cream saris, stand and move among steel cooking pots, wooden platters and serving tables on grass. A figure in a saffron-orange shawl stands near the left center, and a woman in a green sari sits at the lower left eating from a plate. Scattered red plastic chairs and stacked food trays appear around the tent.
