A photograph of an outdoor food-service tent with a striped canopy in red, purple, green and white. Volunteers in pale green and white hairnets prepare food at stainless steel tables, one woman in a white sari with a red border seated at a table. A man in a white shirt and white trousers with a beaded mala stands at the centre, while another man in white dhoti-style clothing and a woman in a red sari stand nearby. A boy in a dark shirt works at a table on the right. Beside them a blue cart displays a large orange banner showing a smiling figure wearing an orange turban and saffron clothing, a depiction that appears to be a printed banner image rather than a physical person. Plastic bowls and a metal pot sit on the tables.
