Another woman in a lavender floral sari, hair in a bun, holds a steel plate of flatbread at right. Steel vessels, trays of food, a wall-mounted insect trap and tiled walls fill the background, with a few other people working behind the counter.

A man in an orange-saffron robe and orange turban, with long swept-back hair and rudraksha beads around his neck, stands at a steel counter ladling food from a large steel pot into a stainless steel plate.
