Two round stainless steel thalis on a dark table hold a spread of vegetarian food in small metal bowls. The left tray has bowls of okra with minced vegetables, yellow-gold curried potato, cubed orange carrots with minced stuffing, a small glass of water, a green lentil or chickpea dish, and a bowl of golden mashed greens. The right tray has bowls of dark green chopped herbs, a grainy black seasoning powder, a mixed crumbled dish, and a bowl with dark sesame-like seeds. No people are visible in the frame.

Around the edge sit about ten small stainless steel bowls of vegetarian food: yellow rice mixed with carrot, cauliflower, green beans, corn and broccoli, plus darker lentil or vegetable stews and a pickled vegetable mix. A small steel cup holds dark brown liquid near the centre, and an empty steel cup sits in the middle.
