Two women sit at a white-draped dining table eating a traditional meal from brass thalis at what appears to be a large communal dining hall. The woman on the left wears a pink t-shirt and a delegate badge, holding a spoon of rice and smiling, with a white vibhuti-like mark on her forehead. The woman on the right, in a white dotted top and glasses, has her palms pressed together in anjali mudra with eyes closed, also with white marks on her forehead and cheeks. Brass tumblers, small brass bowls of curry and a smartphone are on the table; blurred diners in white and other colours fill the background.
