A serving line in a hall where devotees in white clothing serve a meal from glass-fronted steel chafing dishes on long tables. A man on the left in white kurta and a red-and-white shawl holds a plate and reaches toward a dish of flatbreads. Women in white saris with red and gold borders wear white hairnets and handle serving tongs, one with a beaded necklace. A large framed painting of red-robed figures hangs on the wall above. Lines of other servers stand behind the counter, and the scene reads as annadan or communal meal service.

A serving line in a bright hall with peach walls and ceiling fans. A smiling woman in white kurta with rudraksha mala holds a steel plate while a man in red-and-gold dhoti and bare chest, with a dark rudraksha mala, ladles food from a steel pot onto it. Beside them a woman in brown patterned kurta and a man in blue polo with a volunteer badge serve from pots on a floral tablecloth. A man in a white apron and hairnet works behind them, and a monk in saffron robe with a camera stands at right. Other people and tables are visible in the background. This appears to be an annadan or prasad serving.
