A large horizontal banner across the top shows a smiling figure in a red and orange ornate turban, rudraksha-style beaded garland and red-and-white garments, beside a mountain peak, a red temple tower and a temple gopuram. Tamil text on the banner reads Nithyananda Peetham, Sri Kailasa, Hosur. Several devotees queue and eat from plates at the stall; a man in a white shirt holds a plate of yellow rice, and others in shirts and saris stand around the counter. Lower-left, a parked motorbike bears a Tamil Nadu registration plate.2022-03-18Annadhan during Allahabad Kumbhamela 20132013-01-01 +1 copiesOutdoor food-distribution stall under an orange and white striped tarp beside a roadside. A man in a cream kurta at left serves food from a metal tray into small steel bowls on a wooden table. A bare-chested sannyasi with long matted hair, a rudraksha mala, a white dhoti and a gold-coloured waistband stands at center, holding a leaf plate and serving food. Several young men in saffron-orange robes and orange cloths line the table, some holding leaf plates. A truck with a banner stands at right. No one in the scene is clearly identifiable as a person by visible cues; the sannyasi's appearance is only partly distinctive.2014-07-23Photo 11695441 +1 copiesJanuary 03 20122012-01-03A photo of a thatched food stall at an outdoor camp with bamboo supports and a dirt ground.
