A photograph of a food-serving scene at an outdoor event. On the left, a man with shoulder-length swept-back dark hair, bare-chested and wearing a saffron-orange wrap with a rudraksha mala, scoops yellow rice from a large silver bowl with his right hand. Seated at a white table on the right, a shaved-headed man in a saffron-and-gold wrap with a rudraksha mala extends his cupped hands to receive the rice. Banana leaves rest on the table, with rice scattered on them. Behind them, people in white and gold ceremonial clothing stand, a woman in a white blouse and dark patterned trousers watches, and a man in a blue checked shirt and glasses leans in, with a woman in a teal sari at right. The swami identity cannot be confirmed from appearance alone, so the a person field is unsure.
