Foggy outdoor tea stall at a riverside camp during winter. Three boys and young men crouch and sit around a small metal tray holding a glowing charcoal fire, warming their hands; the boy in the foreground wears a white knitted sweater and a purple-and-red NY cap and smiles at the camera. A man in a black jacket and khaki cargo pants holds a cup of chai, and a figure in white stands behind a wooden counter. A kettle sits on a gas stove on the right, with a basket of goods beside it. No a person candidate is visible.
