A photograph of men seated in two long rows on a polished stone floor inside a temple hall with marble-clad walls and granite pillars, each with a white paper plate before them. A man in white dhoti and shirt, with a sash, serves food from a steel vessel down the line. Many seated men wear white shirts or kurtas with saffron-orange shawls, and one has a green and orange scarf. A saffron-robed man stands in the background near a motorcycle, and a bald man in orange is seated on the left. The scene suggests a communal meal, annadan-style food distribution.
