A group of about eight women and men sit under a thatched open-sided shelter with a red tiled floor, eating from round metal plates. Most wear white clothing; several women have orange shawls draped over their shoulders, and some wear rudraksha-style beaded necklaces. One woman on the left in white sits on a white plastic chair eating with her fingers, while others sit cross-legged or on the low red wall. Dry earth, potted plants and people in white moving in the background complete the scene.
