Outdoor scene at a medical camp area with a white-walled building, palm trees and a red vehicle behind. A bald man in a white shirt and white dhoti, with a pink-and-white cloth over his shoulder, stands on the left looking toward a shaved-headed young man in white dhoti and white upper cloth with a rudraksha mala, wearing glasses and a bangle, who holds a small bowl and a paper while standing beside a steel pot of food on a stone ledge. A woman in a colourful sari stands behind them, and people sit at a blue-and-orange counter in the background. A banner on the wall partly reads medical camp. The young man is shaved-headed in white ritual clothing without distinctive long hair, crown or saffron robes, so his identity is uncertain.
