Outdoor photo of a long row of white tables on a lawn where many devotees sit eating a meal served on green banana-leaf plates with small clay cups and a clay pot. Foreground: a man in cream kurta with orange-and-yellow turban, rudraksha mala and gold bangles eats, a bald young boy in a blue-and-white checked shirt beside him. Along the row, many men wear orange and yellow turbans, orange shawls and white kurtas. A woman in a white top and a man in white stand near the far end; a woman in an orange sari sits at a side table under umbrellas. Behind them are modern beige buildings with white domes and a covered wooden pavilion.

Photo of devotees seated at long white-covered tables eating a meal served on green banana leaves at an outdoor event. In the foreground, a man with round wire-rimmed glasses and a grey moustache, wearing a white kurta, an orange shawl and a rudraksha mala, eats with his right hand. Beside him, an older man in a white kurta, an orange shawl and an orange-gold turban eats from his leaf. Behind them, other participants in orange shawls and white clothes sit at the tables. Terracotta cups, paper cups with pink print, and rice, curries and sweets are on the leaves. A boy in a grey shirt with a rudraksha mala sits at the right edge.

A long row of seated monks in saffron-orange dhotis and bare upper bodies eats from banana leaves laid on a striped red and green mat under a white tent. Many wear rudraksha malas, sandalwood or vibhuti markings on their foreheads and chests, and several wear bangles. Each leaf holds rice and vegetable dishes, with white paper cups set beside them. Brightly coloured parasols line the back, and other figures in white and orange stand behind the row. The scene reflects a food offering to sannyasis during a ritual.

Rows of young and adult sannyasis in saffron-orange robes sit cross-legged on a white marble floor, eating a meal served on green banana leaves. Many have shaved heads, white tripundra-style markings on their foreheads and white stripes painted on their arms and chests, and wear rudraksha malas. Small white paper cups are set beside each leaf. A yellow-draped table with framed photographs stands at the far end of the hall. No single leader is clearly identifiable in the foreground.

A long line of young boys in saffron-orange robes and matching orange head wraps sit cross-legged along a polished floor, eating a meal from banana-leaf plates. Steel tumblers and white paper cups line the table, filled with rice, sweets and vegetable dishes, and one boy holds a flatbread. Behind them, white-clad adults move around the hall.

Women sit in a long row on a red mat under a tent decorated with strings of small triangular flags and bunting, eating a meal served on fresh green banana leaves with rice and curried vegetables, and drinking from paper cups. Most wear orange shawls over white saris; one woman in the front right wears orange with glasses and bangles. Behind them, men in white dhotis and shirts walk or stand among white plastic chairs and red tables, and a man in a white shirt with a rudraksha mala stands at the right edge. The scene resembles a communal feeding (annadan) at an ashram event.
