Outdoor photo of a communal meal line at an ashram on a dirt ground beneath trees, with small orange-roofed buildings behind. Along a long white-covered table, several people serve food from steel pots into plates, including a woman in an orange sari with a red-and-gold border and a woman in a pink sari with pearl necklace and gloves. A man in an orange sweatshirt with a lanyard holds a plate, and a man in a striped shirt gestures toward food. A young girl in a pink top stands in front, and a long queue of people in white ritual clothes and saris waits behind. No a person candidate is identifiable.

A photograph of an outdoor food distribution under a corrugated roof, apparently an annadan meal service. Children sit on a red patterned mat and on the floor in rows holding steel plates while a man in a white shirt and grey trousers stands at the centre and a man in a blue striped shirt with a wristwatch stands at the right beside steel buckets and pots. A woman in a patterned sari sits among the children at right. A steel bowl of food sits on a blue table at left, with a leafy branch in the foreground. A white-clad figure stands at far left edge. No a person candidate is visibly identifiable from appearance, so the figure is unsure.
