Outdoors in a garden with trees, shrubs and palms, a man with long dark hair and an orange-saffron robe sits on a zebra-striped armchair with a patterned rug at his feet, receiving a plate of food from a monk in orange robes with white forehead markings who kneels before him. A blue sign reading Laughing Temple stands behind the shrubs. Behind them, seated devotees and women in orange saris hold plates and paper cups, and a woman in an orange sari with a red blouse raises a hand to her face. A plate of food sits on a low table at left. The man on the chair wears a rudraksha mala and is presumably a person, seated and being served prasad.
