A photograph of a food-serving scene in a plain grey-walled hall. An older man in a white shirt with a red tilak on his forehead and a gold bangle serves rice from a steel pot with a ladle. Beside him a man in saffron-orange robes wears a long pink and yellow marigold garland and serves orange food from a large steel bowl. Behind them a bare-chested man in white dhoti is working, and a woman in a cream and gold patterned shawl holds a steel plate, smiling. Stacked steel plates and a pot sit on the counter, with a small framed picture on the side wall and a green garden visible through a doorway.
