A man in an orange-saffron dhoti and orange head-wrap, with long dark hair and a beaded mala necklace, wears clear plastic gloves and serves from a steel ladle into a steel plate held out by a devotee in a white-and-orange-bordered sari.

A man in a white shirt with a lanyard stands at right, and shirtless workers stand at the back near the wall-mounted fan and fluorescent light. Tiled walls in pale pink.
