A seated man in saffron-orange clothing and a tied orange turban sits at a table with water bottles and a steel bowl, using a small spoon to serve from a plastic cup, which suggests food service. He wears a wrist mala, a beaded necklace and an orange shawl over bare shoulders. Behind him stand other people in orange and red garments, and a corrugated metal wall forms the backdrop. The scene appears to be a communal meal or annadan distribution.
