Eight small enamel bowls with white rims and red or blue edges sit on a round metal tray, each holding steamed white rice topped with a dal-style stew of diced orange carrot and dark leafy greens, garnished with a sprig of fresh cilantro. A stainless steel lidded container and a jar of spices sit on a wooden surface behind the tray. No people are visible; the scene is a food serving, not a ritual.
