Evening outdoor meal at night under purple fairy lights strung through palm and fern plants. Several men in white dhotis and white shirts stand on dirt ground holding round plates of food and eating; some wear beaded malas around their necks. At the right, servers in white shirts and dark trousers work at a buffet table with steel food trays. A partly visible person in an orange garment sits at the lower left edge. The setting resembles an annadan style community meal.
