Indoor photo of a serving line at a children's programme in a plain hall with white-painted walls, a wall fan, and white metal roof trusses. A woman in a white top and orange shawl, hair in a bun, leans over a table serving food from a steel pot into steel bowls, wearing clear plastic gloves and a gold bangle. Beside her a woman in an orange-saffron top with hair pulled back also serves. Many children crowd the table holding steel plates, including a girl in a blue-and-white striped top with a beaded necklace and a boy in a light blue shirt. Bowls hold orange-red sweets and a mixed snack, and a large steel pot sits in front. Several children have white and red forehead markings.
