On the left, a woman in a maroon top and white saree with a red lanyard eats with her fingers beside a man in white. On the right, a man in a white shirt with a red lanyard eats rice and curry, and an elderly bald man in white shirt and glasses with a red lanyard and a vibhuti forehead mark sits at the far right.

A row of people sits eating a meal served on green banana leaves along a long purple-covered table in a plain room with pale blue walls. Foreground, an older man with glasses and a vertical sandal-paste mark on his forehead wears a white shirt and red lanyard, eating with his right hand. Beside him a man in a white shirt and red lanyard eats rice. Two women, one in a red top and one in a striped white-and-pink sari, eat from their leaves, and a man in a white shirt sits further back with a steel tumbler on the table. Steel tumblers and rice, vegetables and papadam sit on each leaf.

A photograph of an ashram kitchen serving line. A woman in a white sari with a gold border serves food from a steel pot onto a plate held by a man in white clothes. A bearded man with long grey hair, wearing a white shirt and a rudraksha mala, stands at the centre holding a steel plate with rotis. Other men in white shirts and white kurtas stand around the stainless-steel serving tables, which hold steel bowls of rice and vegetables. A bottle of water sits on the table. Bright windows with red frames are behind them.

A photograph of a seated bearded man in an orange-saffron robe with long dark hair, serving food from a banana leaf on a tray. He is seated on a floor covered with a white cloth printed with yellow flowers and green leaves, and offers rice to a young child in a gold embroidered outfit who holds out cupped hands. A standing man in white clothes with a saffron shawl and a rudraksha mala stands at left, holding a leaf plate. Brass bowls and small cups sit on the cloth, with a white cushioned stool at right and a shiny brass vessel on a floor mat in the background. The scene appears to be a food offering or annadan at an ashram setting.

A photo of four people sitting cross-legged on a tiled floor sharing a meal from stainless steel trays with compartments holding rice, yellow dal or curry, flatbread and vegetables. A young boy in a white striped shirt and blue jeans, barefoot, gestures with his hand. A woman in an orange and red sari with gold bangles and a red bindi talks while reaching toward the food. A bearded man in white kurta and a yellow-bordered white dhoti with a red tilak on his forehead and bangles on his wrist eats with his right hand. An older man in a white shirt sits in the background against a white wall. The scene looks like a simple domestic or ashram meal.

A photograph of a meal service in a whitewashed hall with a tiled floor. Four men sit at a long table covered with green banana leaves, eating from small steel bowls and tumblers. On the right, a standing sannyasi in saffron robe and orange head-wrap, with long hair, is turned toward the seated diners and appears to be addressing them. A man in white dhoti with bare torso and forehead marks stands nearby, and a woman in white sari stands by the table. Behind them is a framed portrait of a figure in saffron, garlanded with white and multicoloured flower strings, beside a brass vessel on a white-draped stand. The scene suggests an annadhan food distribution.
