A photograph of a serving scene at a white-draped table in a tent. A man seated on an ornate gold-and-red throne, wearing a saffron-orange dhoti wrap, a rudraksha mala and ceremonial beads, and with a yellow-and-orange tilak on his forehead, scoops and offers food from a large silver bowl with his right hand. A younger man in a white t-shirt, jeans and a red-orange shawl leans forward to take the food from the seated man's hand while another portion sits in a silver dish. Banana leaves, steel pots and rice-like food are on the table, with scattered grains on the cloth. Behind them, women in red and white saris and garlanded attire stand near blue curtains, and a few other people are partially visible.
