The leaf holds heaps of white rice, small mounds of pickles and chutneys in dark brown and orange, a pale round idli-like cake, a swirled sweet, fried snacks, sliced vegetables and red chilli pieces. Two small white paper cups with green leaf prints and a clear plastic container sit nearby. A woven mat and a person in white cloth appear at the top edge of the frame.

A seated person in orange robes with long dark wavy hair and a red bindi sits on a wooden chair on a lace-covered floor, arranging white rice and yellow rice on a large green banana leaf. A rudraksha mala hangs at the chest. Nearby are a polished silver bowl, a small steel tumbler, a small round kumkum-like cake, and plastic water bottles. Behind are a white draped table, a potted plant and a framed poster. The person's distinctive long hair and saffron clothing are shown, matching the page's a person cues, but the presentation is only partly distinctive, so the identity is uncertain and the person is described by role as a devotee preparing food offering.

Three men in white ritual clothing sit cross-legged on a polished floor eating a meal from stainless steel compartment trays. The man in front, in the foreground, wears a white kurta and a red-orange shawl over his shoulders and a rudraksha bracelet on his wrist, and he is picking up rice with his fingers. Behind him, a bearded man in a white kurta and red-orange shawl also eats. A glass of green drink and small bowls of rice, vegetables and papad sit on the trays. At the far left edge, another person in white with a red waist cloth is partly visible. A chain barrier and a dish of food are at the right edge.

Three men sit cross-legged on a pale marble floor eating from clay plates during a ritual meal. The man in the centre wears a white kurta and white trousers and uses his fingers to arrange food on a terracotta plate holding rice, yellow dal and a green chilli. To his left, a grey-haired man in white holds a small clay cup, and to his right a man with a moustache and a dark mala necklace in white clothing eats from a plate. Feet and white garments of other people appear at the edges, with potted plants behind.
