The woman on the left wears a white top with an orange cord at her neck and is breaking bread with her hands. The middle woman wears a white top with an orange shawl and bangles, eating from a plate of idli-like food. The woman on the right has long braided hair and wears white with a black rudraksha-style mala, eating with her right hand. A steel tumbler sits on the table. On the right, a large printed portrait shows a bearded man in a cream turban and cream kurta, with a red tilak on his forehead; the portrait is labelled with a partial name, but he is not a physical person in the scene.
