Crowded food-service scene inside a white-draped tent with striped umbrellas and hanging lanterns. A bearded man with a large maroon-red turban, bare chest, gold necklaces and gold armbands stands behind a glass food counter, serving yellow rice-like food onto steel plates. A bald man in red kurta with a rudraksha-style beaded necklace reaches toward the counter; a woman in a white dress sits in a wheelchair holding a plate, and a woman in a dark blue sari steadies the trays. A man in white holds a camera and another holds a handheld microphone at the lower edge. Other devotees in white and orange clothing fill the background.
