A photo of a communal meal service in a bright pink hall. A man in a shaved-look hairnet... wait, correction: a man wearing a white hairnet and clear plastic gloves stands at a steel serving counter, scooping food from a metal tray. He wears an orange-brown saffron-toned wrap with a long orange-beaded rudraksha-style mala and a gold-trimmed cloth, and he smiles. Beside him a woman in an orange sari with a yellow border, dark beaded mala and bindi holds a phone. A woman on the right in an orange wrap and orange mala hands out a white takeaway box. Background people wear white clothes.
