A photograph of an outdoor food-preparation area with a white-walled building and red door behind it. Two men in orange stand on packed earth: the taller one on the left wears a long orange shawl draped over his shoulders and an orange dhoti with orange sandals; the one beside him wears an orange long-sleeved top, red trousers, a metal-buckled belt and a beaded necklace. A younger boy in a striped shirt and dark trousers stands at right. In the foreground is a large steel pot holding cooked yellow rice. Behind them, sacks of grain and rice lie on blue tarpaulins. Nobody is identified by face; the visible roles are two monastics or devotees and a boy helper.
