A young man with long, dark, wavy hair and a red bindi wears a saffron-orange shawl over a red sleeveless top, with a rudraksha mala around his neck, and is wearing clear plastic gloves while serving food from a steel vessel onto a white-covered table scattered with grains. Beside him an older man in a white shirt and white dhoti, with a rudraksha mala, handles a plastic-wrapped food packet. Another man in a white shirt stands behind a large stainless steel drum, and a few more men in white stand in the background. Red plastic chairs and a beige plastic chair sit nearby. The scene looks like a food distribution service.
