A photograph of a meal served on a green banana leaf placed on a low wooden table. The leaf holds a small mound of white rice, flatbreads or papads, a pale dollop of yogurt or curd, an orange vegetable curry, a dark sautéed vegetable dish, pickles and a brown chutney. Behind it sit several paper cups with red and patterned sides, two with straws, and two clear glasses, one holding water and one holding a reddish drink. No people are visible in the frame and no a person candidate appears; the scene is a prepared food spread against a plain beige wall.
