The foreground man in the centre has hands pressed together in namaste with white vibhuti stripes on his arms and forehead, and the man at right has hands clasped in his lap. Before the rows, banana leaf plates hold sweets, fried snacks and cups. Other people in white are seated in the background.

A photograph of a long row of saffron-robed sannyasi seated cross-legged on the floor of a bright hall, hands pressed in namaste, with white vibhuti stripes on their foreheads and arms. Several wear rudraksha malas and one wears gold bangles. In front of them lie banana leaves set with rice, yellow dal, and small portions of food, with white paper cups of water along the row. Many more monks sit further back, and a pedestal fan stands at the right.

A seated group of young men in saffron-orange and red-brown robes sits cross-legged on a white marble floor, eating a meal from green banana-leaf plates. Many have white sacred ash bands across their foreheads and arms, and wear beaded rudraksha-style necklaces and bracelets. Rows of white paper cups stand along the edges of the leaves, and several men reach toward their food, smiling. A person in white clothing is partially visible at the upper right edge. The scene resembles a communal annadan meal in a temple hall, with rice, curries and fried items served on the leaves.

A photograph of a row of shaved-headed monks in saffron-orange robes seated cross-legged on a red and blue striped mat, hands pressed together in namaskar, before a long line of banana-leaf plates with food, small clay bowls, and water bottles. The leftmost monk has a yellow turmeric mark on his forehead; several wear rudraksha malas and bracelets, and one holds a microphone. Behind them are display panels, a standing portrait of a saffron-robed figure, and a red chair. The setting appears to be an exhibition or ashram hall with white floors and mirrored pillars. The monks appear to be sannyasis or devotees; none is identified as a person.
