A photograph taken indoors in a yellow-walled room with a barred window and fluorescent light. Two women stand at a metal tray filled with a pale brown granular mixture. The woman on the left, in a red patterned kurta with a cream dupatta, bangles and earrings, lifts a small amount to her mouth. The woman on the right, in a white top and red checked apron with her hair in a bun, reaches toward her with a small portion. Above them hangs a framed poster with four photographs and captions reading 'A burning quest', 'Lost in the Divine', 'A growing consciousness', and a caption at the bottom edge reading 'Happen...'. A chair and a bag sit at the left edge.
