A photograph taken at night under a tent with red, green and white bunting at a convention, apparently a food service line. On the left, a man with swept-back dark hair wears a saffron-orange wrap over a red sleeveless top and serves from a steel pot with a ladle onto a white plate held by a woman in a white sleeveless top with her hair tied back. Behind them, several people in white shirts and white dhotis stand in line, including an older man with grey hair and a man in a white shirt holding a steel plate. Paper signs hang from the tent poles, and a steel bucket sits on the table. Based on appearance alone, the server in saffron may be a person, though the cues are not conclusive.
