A photograph of men queued in a bare whitewashed room for a meal service. Several servers in white shirts and white dhotis hold steel plates and ladle food from a long metal table near an open doorway. Queuing men wear pale blue, striped, checked lungi and orange cloth, and some carry plates of rice. A woman in a blue and red sari stands at the left edge. The scene looks like annadhaan food distribution. No one is identifiable as a person from the visible cues.
