Night outdoor scene at a college courtyard with a bright floodlight and a cream building with windows behind. A long-haired man in a flowing saffron-orange robe stands centre-right, reaching into a large black cooking pot or vessel on a dark table, serving food onto a steel plate. Around him, men in white shirts and dhotis and a woman in a yellow sari and orange blouse hold steel plates and bowls, with others in white and striped shirts nearby. Foliage and small trees frame the background, and a woman in white sits at the right edge with a steel vessel.
