Four people sit on a grey tiled floor in a room with a blue wall and a blackboard, eating from banana leaves. On the far left a man in white shirt and trousers works over a leaf with food; next to him a man in saffron-orange robe and bead necklace serves rice, with his hand on the leaf. A man in white dhoti and shirt with a rudraksha mala sits eating from a leaf. On the right a woman in an orange and yellow patterned sari with red-bordered blouse and red bindi eats with her hand. Steel vessels, a green pot, and a bucket of rice sit on the floor. A standing man in white and orange shawl stands behind, and a red flag hangs on the wall.
