Six women in blue saris sit at a long metal table on banana leaves, eating rice, flatbread and curry with their hands, with steel tumblers beside them. A man in a white shirt holds a steel bucket and ladle while serving. Standing at the right, a figure with long dark hair and an orange saffron robe wrapped around the body, a rudraksha mala at the neck, gestures toward the diners; the appearance is consistent with the page's a person reference but not certain. Other men in white shirts stand in the background, and a video camera operator is visible at the far right edge.
