A photograph of a seated meal in a hall where many women in orange and saffron robes sit in rows on a white floor, eating from banana leaves set with rice, curries and sweets, with paper cups and water bottles along the cloth. Many wear rudraksha malas, bangles and gold earrings, and some have vibhuti or kumkum on their foreheads. Background figures in white sit further back. No a person candidate is clearly identifiable. The scene suggests an annadan or bhiksha offering of prasad to sannyasini devotees.

A long row of seated women in saffron-orange robes eats a communal meal from banana leaves laid along a white cloth on a hall floor. Each leaf holds rice, vegetables and sweets, with steel tumblers and paper cups set between them. Several women wear rudraksha beads and sandalwood or vibhuti marks on the forehead. Behind them, a figure in white dhoti and gold-bordered shawl stands near the wall. The scene suggests an annadan style communal meal.

Long rows of young women in saffron-orange saris sit cross-legged on a white floor along a long white cloth, hands pressed in anjali before banana-leaf plates heaped with food and steel tumblers. A woman in orange stands at the far end near a large projected screen showing a portrait in pink and white, and white-clad attendants move about in the background. The setting is a hall with pink walls, a gilded pillar and a framed deity image in red. The scene suggests a communal feast offering during a devotional ceremony.
