Outdoors on a hillside with green palms and dry scrub behind, a man in an orange turban and orange shawl over a white lower garment and a bare chest serves food from a metal tray lined with a green banana leaf. He holds a serving ladle over rice and orange-tinged vegetable preparations. Around him, devotees in white dhotis and orange shawls stand watching; one woman in a white sari with orange shawl and beaded necklace holds a water bottle, and a young man in white holds a steel tumbler. Part of a red and gold umbrella or canopy is visible at left. Photo-based description; the man has distinctive long hair, orange turban and ornate bare-chest adornment cues, so he is described as a person serving prasad.
