A young girl with dark hair tied up and an orange flower clip stands outdoors on grass, holding a round leaf plate of food. She wears a red long-sleeved top with a sequined reindeer and snowflake design and red patterned pants. The plate holds yellow rice with carrots, a crumbled dry dal, white rice or curd, and a yellow vegetable curry with peas. Behind her are a blue metal container, a shrub and a dry-grass patch. The scene suggests a meal being served as annadan, though no ritual is visible.
