A photo taken inside a open-sided shed with a tin roof and bamboo-mat walls. Five men sit on white plastic chairs at a long stainless-steel table holding steel tiffin containers, a plate and small steel cups. A bare-chested man in a saffron-orange cloth with a long-haired, turban-like head covering sits with his back to the camera, facing the group, hands together in a conversational gesture. Among the seated men, one wears a red-and-white striped shirt with glasses, one a green striped shirt, one a white shirt and dhoti, and one a white shirt with a red-bordered cloth. The scene looks like a meeting over a meal, with an orange-clad figure seated in front of the table.
