A photograph of an annadan-style meal service in a hall with lilac-patterned wall panels. In the foreground, women in rust-red and orange shawls sit on the floor before rows of banana leaves laden with food, with small cups and water bottles placed along the leaves. Along the centre of the image, devotees in white clothes with red-and-white shawls walk barefoot in a line down the hall; a man in the middle wears a white kurta with a red shawl and an orange-lanyard badge, and an older woman in a cream sari with orange border stands with palms pressed together in namaskar. At the right edge, a saffron-robed person stands near the wall. No a person candidate is clearly identifiable from appearance.

A photograph of a large seated group eating a meal on the floor of an indoor hall with cream walls and a red curtain backdrop. Many people sit cross-legged on the floor and on chairs, wearing white and red clothing with red shawls draped over their shoulders. They hold disposable trays of food and eat with their hands, while water bottles sit on the floor. Several women with grey and white hair and a few children are visible among the crowd. A small orange and white decorative banner hangs on the left wall.
