A photograph inside a decorated tent with red velvet drapes and orange tufted thrones. In the foreground a seated elderly man with white-grey hair and a dark bead mala wears an orange shawl and reaches toward a metal plate of food on a red cloth, which holds rice, yellow dal, pappadum-like rounds and vegetables. Beside him a younger man with long dark hair, a rudraksha mala and a gold ornament wears rust-red robes and gestures over a second plate, a gold-coloured item in his hand. Behind them a bald man in a saffron-and-gold shawl stands with palms pressed together in namaste, and a figure in a purple wrap sits at the left edge. Marigold garlands and small steel cups are on the floor. A purple bird logo appears in the upper left corner.
