A photograph of a buffet serving line in a plain room with white cinderblock walls. A woman in a white embroidered outfit with white trousers and clear plastic gloves stands at a steel chafing dish, serving food with a spoon. Behind her, women in a red-and-gold sari, an orange top, a teal and purple sari and grey clothing hold white paper plates and wait in line. A tall stack of white paper plates and a yellow tablecloth sit on the table, with a sprig of holly at the right edge. No a person candidate is visible, so the event is a community meal with devotees rather than a discourse.

A busy communal meal service in a whitewashed hall. Women in white aprons and clear plastic gloves serve food from large stainless steel pots on a counter, ladling rice, a milky dish and orange vegetable curry onto plates. Devotees queue along the counter holding steel plates of rice, puri and orange curry. A woman in a pink salwar kameez with a salmon dupatta and a man in white with an ID badge stand in line, and an elderly woman in glasses holds a plate. A woman in a red and pink kurta and another in a blue top look on. A woman in an orange sari sits at the far right edge. Small paper cups are stacked beside the pots and red ventilation blocks sit high on the wall.
