A seated person in an orange saffron robe wrapped over the shoulders sits on a white cloth, holding a steel plate of rice mixed with yellow food. Long dark hair falls past the shoulders, a red bindi marks the forehead, and garlands of white jasmine, green leaves and red flowers hang around the neck. In front, a green banana leaf on a low wooden stool holds small servings of food and a steel tumbler. A man in white clothing bends at the left edge, and a wooden walking cane leans against the wall behind. The plaster wall is worn and a white plastic chair stands near the top left. The seated person's appearance is consistent with the page's identification of a person, but the face and visible cues are not strong enough to confirm it, so this is uncertain.
