Outdoor food distribution at a crowded riverside festival setting with a thatched shelter, orange and purple draped backdrop and a tall temple-style structure in the distance. A bald man with glasses and a rudraksha mala wears a white dhoti with a red-and-gold border and a white shawl, and is serving food from a steel pot onto leaf plates. Beside him a bald man in a lilac striped shirt holds a plate of green food. Several other men and women stand nearby, including a man in a black knit cap, a woman in a headscarf and a man in a pink striped shirt. Food is laid out on a pink-covered table, including a plate of cooked food and green-garnished servings.
