A row of men in white dhotis and shirts sit cross-legged on a marble floor, eating from green banana leaf plates arranged along a blue-edged mat. Several wear red or orange shawls over their shoulders. Plates hold rice, vegetables, sweets and small paper cups. Two men in the foreground eat with their hands; one older man in glasses sits at right, and a figure in white stands in the background. No one is identifiable as the a person; the scene shows devotees sharing a meal during the event.

A long row of men and some women sit cross-legged on a polished cream marble floor, eating a meal served on green banana leaves. Each leaf holds mounds of white rice, small portions of colourful side dishes, pickles and sweets, with paper cups of drink beside them. In the foreground a bald man with glasses wears a white-and-grey striped shirt, white dhoti and a dark red cord, eating with his right hand. Beside him a man in a beige shirt and khaki trousers with a red cord also eats. Further along, men in white shirts and a purple top sit at the same line. In the background a brass oil lamp stands near a white-clothed figure and a table with a patterned cloth, and a few people sit along the far wall. The scene appears to be a communal seated meal in a hall.

Men in white ethnic clothing sit cross-legged in a long row on mats in a hall, eating a communal meal served on banana leaves with rice, curries, fried items and sliced vegetables. Several wear orange-saffron lanyards with ID badges, and some have orange or red shawls and rudraksha-style beads. A man in the centre wears an orange turban and a teal-and-white striped shirt, and others on the right wear white with red shawls. Plastic cups, bottles and water glasses line the floor along the leaves, with a blue line marking the seating area and orange drapery in the background. No figure is identifiable as a person by the cues described, so the candidate is left unsure.

A row of men sits cross-legged on a marble floor eating a communal meal from banana leaves laid end to end. Served foods include rice, vegetables, sweets and cubes of white cheese, with paper cups of drink placed along the leaves. Most men wear white dhotis and shirts with red or orange shawls draped over one shoulder; one older man in thin-rimmed glasses and a white shirt holds a piece of food near his mouth. A man in orange-and-saffron robes stands in the background, and an orange-robed figure appears at the top edge. The setting suggests a temple annadan-style meal, with ash-coloured and orange clothing visible among the group.

A seated group of men eat a meal from green banana-leaf plates on a polished light floor in a hall. Most wear white kurtas and dhotis; one man at right wears a red-orange shawl over a white garment, round spectacles, a rudraksha mala and white horizontal tilak marks on his forehead and arm, and eats with his right hand. Beside him a man in a red shawl and white clothes eats from a leaf plate. Disposable blue-and-white paper cups sit beside each plate. A woman in orange and a standing person are visible at the back. No one is clearly identifiable as a person from appearance, and the scene shows a shared meal rather than a specific ritual.
