A photograph of a communal food service in a plain whitewashed hall with barred windows and red plastic chairs. A woman with long dark hair wears a red blouse and orange sari and wears clear plastic gloves while ladling food from a large steel pot onto plates. Men in white shirts and white dhotis stand around the serving table, one holding a plate of food, others working at tables behind. Food residue is scattered over a pink tablecloth, and a steel tumbler sits on the table. Blurred figures in the background suggest a busy line of diners.
