A serving line at a dining hall. A young man in a pink shirt and clear plastic gloves ladles food from a copper vessel onto a white plate held by an elderly woman with grey hair in a bun, wearing a white sari with a gold border, glasses, gold bangles and a gold necklace. Behind them a woman in a brown sari and another woman in a dark top also hold plates near copper serving pots on a counter with red cloth. Wood-panelled walls and a white tiled column form the backdrop.
