A photograph of guests seated at a round table with a white lace-patterned cloth inside a white tented dining hall with a red carpet. Four visitors sit around the table: a man on the left in a light cream vest over a blue shirt with a name badge, a smiling man in a white t-shirt with a crossbody strap, a smiling woman in a red top with a black and gold patterned scarf, and a woman on the right in a blue shawl over white. A fifth person with short white hair in a pale pink shirt sits in the foreground with his back to the camera. Brass thali plates with small brass bowls, steel tumblers and a folded napkin sit on the table. Behind them, steam-table counters with covered chafing dishes and attendants in traditional dress serve the meal. No visible deity, throne or ritual figure is present.
