A photograph of a buffet serving line in a large hall with white tiled floor and red curtains. Several people stand behind steel trays of sliced cucumber, tomatoes, yellow fruit and bananas on a red tablecloth. A woman in a floral kurta with a green scarf reaches toward the bananas, while a woman in a maroon-bordered white sari and beaded necklace serves food from a tray. Two young men in yellow and white shirts with dark beaded necklaces stand nearby, and an older man in white shirt and glasses holds a plate. Small packets sit in a tray at the front. Framed pictures line the walls and a screen shows a temple image at the back.
