A photo of a kitchen serving line. A man in saffron-orange robes and an orange turban, with long dark hair and a rudraksha mala, smiles while serving food from a steel ladle onto a plate held by a woman in a white sari with blue border. Other women in white saris and a man in white shirt stand around the steel counter, and a woman at left holds a steel plate. Wearing clear plastic gloves, the serving man appears to be a person, though the appearance is uncertain. Pink tiled walls and fluorescent lights are visible in the background.
