Two women in orange saris and plastic gloves, one wearing a grey sari, reach into the pot to serve portions onto paper plates. Elderly people with grey hair and bangles reach forward to receive food. Green and orange wooden barriers line the serving counter. The man's identity is not established from appearance, so no candidate is named.
