A photograph under a corrugated metal roof and striped blue and white tarpaulin canopy shows a woman in an orange-red saffron sari with her right hand raised, standing beside a table covered with a red checked cloth. On the table are steel pots, ladles and a glass. Beside her, a man in a white shirt and white dhoti stands, and two men in white vests and dhotis stand at right near large metal vessels. Behind them, other people in white clothes and blue plastic chairs are visible under the canopy, and a square concrete pillar rises in the centre. No a person candidate is evident, so the figures are described by role and dress only.
