A man in a white shirt and white dhoti stands at the centre, holding a stainless steel plate of white rice with a yellow vegetable curry and dark olives, his eyes lowered. He wears a dark beaded necklace with a round locket and a dark cord with a pendant, and an orange ID badge clipped to his shirt pocket. Behind him, an older man with grey hair and a white shirt stands beside a man in an orange shirt against a yellow-orange pillar. On the right, a partially visible person in a light blue head covering is close to the camera. A round flatbread is visible at the lower right. The scene looks like a communal meal distribution in an ashram hall.
