A corrugated-metal food serving area at night with a tall sign reading LADIES. A man with long, dark, wavy hair wearing a sleeveless saffron-orange garment stands with his back to the camera, holding a steel plate and reaching toward a large steel pot. Beside him a young man in a white shirt ladles food from another pot. An older man with grey hair and a moustache sits at left behind a steel vessel, and other people are partly visible at right. Bamboo poles and a green-and-white banner with Tamil script hang overhead. Circumstantial cues that the saffron-robed figure is a person are the long hair and orange clothing, so the appearance is probable.
