Outdoor photo of a rustic open-sided shelter with black tarpaulin roof and bamboo poles, where many men stand and sit eating from paper plates. Several wear orange saffron scarves over warm layers: a man in a maroon knit cap and mustard jacket, a man in a grey hoodie and jeans, a man in a green jacket, and a man in a dark grey cap in white kurta-pyjama with an orange scarf. One man holds a plastic bag printed with pictures. Plastic chairs and dusty ground fill the scene, with a row of seated people behind. Cold, bright daylight, typical of a mountain camp meal line.
