Volunteers in white clothing walk between the rows serving food, and one server wears a white sari with a gold border and carries a plate. A man in a white shirt with an orange cloth draped over his shoulder and carrying a notebook stands at the centre. Other people, including a woman in a green sari with an orange border seated at right, are seated on striped mats. Pillars with orange and yellow banners frame the hall, and a few people stand near the back in the background. This appears to be an annadan style communal meal.2012-05-20
