On the left, a framed portrait of a figure with a pink turban and a garland of white and red flowers sits on a red-draped platform beside a golden trident, with steel bowls of food set in front. At the centre, a woman in a rust-red sari and a woman in a white sari, both with white sacred ash on their foreheads, ladle food from steel pots into leaf plates. A young girl in an orange top helps at the back. A boy in an orange shirt and jeans holds a stack of leaf plates, and an older woman in a patterned sari holds out a plate to receive food. A striped canopy and green foliage frame the scene.
