Three people in white dhoti-style clothing stand behind a buffet of copper chafing dishes with brass frames on a white-draped table during a serving line. The man on the left wears a red-and-white striped shawl, a white forehead marking and a lanyard, and holds a serving spoon over greens. The woman in the centre wears a red shawl, a gold-bordered white sari, glasses and a hairnet, and serves from a dish of yellow dal. The woman on the right, in a white top and hairnet, serves from a third dish. Behind them, a wall shows a framed photo panel of saffron-robed devotees and a red-robed figure. Printed labels on the table read Palakkoora Aari and Cocktail Reddy Nilaagal.
