Outdoor annadan-style meal on bare dry ground. Several men sit in a row on banana leaves set on yellow cloth mats, eating rice with yellow-tinted side dishes. They wear white shirts and white dhotis; one man at left has a rudraksha-style bead necklace and gold bracelets. A standing server in a white shirt and white dhoti serves from a steel vessel. Behind them more seated people in white clothes eat from leaves, with rows of rubber sandals along the edge, a low pillared wall and dappled sunlight.
