Outdoor food-preparation area with large steel cooking pots on stands and orange gas cylinders on the ground. In the foreground, a man in a saffron-orange dhoti and wrap with a long rudraksha mala and a white forehead mark stands beside a bamboo pole, one foot raised. Beside him a young man in a white t-shirt and white trousers carries an orange backpack and a red cloth. Palm trees, a tin-roofed wall and a few people in white are visible behind. Cues for the orange-clad figure are a rudraksha mala and saffron clothing, but appearance alone is not sufficient for identification.
