A photograph taken under a open-sided thatched pavilion at an outdoor program site. In the foreground, a woman in an orange-yellow sari with her hair tied back stands beside stainless steel pots and vessels on a table, while a man in white ritual clothes carries a steel plate. A woman in an orange sari with loose dark hair stands at right holding a steel plate, and a man in white with a lanyard badge carries a tray. Several more people in white and orange clothing move about in the background among tables and bamboo poles, apparently serving food at an annadan style meal arrangement. No visible candidate matches the a person appearance cues, so the figures are described by role only.

Devotees serve food in a covered open-sided kitchen area with thatched and bamboo ceiling panels and a view of outdoor greenery. Five or so people stand at a long stainless-steel counter, dishing rice and food from metal pots and tubs into steel plates and ladles. The woman on the far left wears a white sari with a lavender border, an orange shawl and a rudraksha mala. A young man in a white dhoti-style outfit with an orange shawl and a white stole holds a ladle. Beside him a woman in white with an orange scarf serves from a pot. In the foreground a woman in a white sari with a gold border and a red-beaded mala holds a steel plate of rice. A girl in white with gold trim stands at the right edge.

A photograph of a seated man with long dark swept-back hair, wearing orange saffron robes and a rudraksha-style necklace, smiling as he reaches toward a woman in orange and white who holds out a banana leaf plate of rice. A large metal tray of cooked rice sits in the foreground, and a small brass cup is nearby. Behind them, a open-sided pavilion has concrete blocks stacked along the back wall, with several other people in white and orange clothing standing and watching. A green slate board is propped at the top of the frame.

Outdoor breakfast service on a street in a hilly town with multi-storey buildings and wooded slopes behind. A long-haired man in an orange shawl over a white kurta, with a red bindi and beard, stands at a steel serving counter ladling food from a large stainless pot. Beside him, a man with a grey beard in a white kurta and orange shawl serves another person, and a man in an orange cap and shawl works at the back. A white-haired man in an orange shawl receives a plate of food on the right, with a steel pot of yellow food in front.

A covered hall serves a meal to seated men in white clothes at a long stainless-steel table. Several monastics in saffron-orange robes with red borders serve food: a young man in front carries a white tray of food, another in the centre holds a steel pot, and a woman on the right wears a saffron robe, rudraksha-style beaded necklace and gold pendant. Seated diners eat from metal thalis with food and small white cups. Behind them, an orange draped table and an orange-and-red checked curtain stand near a framed picture of a shrine. Saffron-clad figures are seen on the left side, and a fabric-wrapped bundle hangs on the right wall.
