A seated figure in a red-orange and saffron dress with a long beaded necklace and a dark bun sits on a red-cushioned gold throne, pouring rice from a hand into a large metal bowl of cooked rice and vegetables. Beside them an older woman with grey hair, glasses, white jacket and an orange-and-red patterned scarf holds out a handful of the same rice. A young man in white kurta with a saffron shawl, rudraksha mala and yellow tilak stands behind, watching. A colourful striped mat covers the floor, and exhibition panels with photos and a maroon banner line the background. The scene suggests an annadan offering of food. Two people are visible.
