In the foreground a man with a bare upper body and a red-and-saffron dhoti sits on a gold-and-red throne, reaching toward a silver bowl of yellow rice. Ornate gold armrest details and a rudraksha mala are visible. Beside him a woman in white clothes and a white shawl, with glasses and a bag strap, scoops rice from a steel pot. Along the table, several people in white and saffron clothes with rudraksha malas handle steel pots and banana leaves. Two men in white dhotis stand in the background, and a woman in a golden blouse is at the right edge. Pots of food, a red bench and a pale tent wall complete the scene.
