A long plain dining hall with a grey concrete wall and a metal roof with ceiling fans. Elderly men in orange and white clothes sit on blue plastic chairs at a long steel table, each with a metal plate of food. A man in a white dhoti and shirt walks along the aisle in the foreground, another man in white stands at left, and a man in a checked shirt looks on. Colourful fabric hangings with tassels hang from the ceiling, and a banner with a photo of a saffron-robed figure hangs in the back. A plastic water bottle sits on the table in front.

A photograph of a long hall where many people sit on blue plastic chairs at long metal-topped tables, eating from steel plates and tumblers of water. Several robed figures in saffron and orange clothing, some with white dhotis, stand and walk through the room near serving tables. Ceiling fans hang from a blue steel-framed roof, a wall clock is mounted on the back wall, and decorative colourful cloth-wrapped pillars with orange tassels line the walls. Some seated men wear white dhotis and orange shawls. The scene appears to be a communal meal in an ashram dining hall, with a woman in a white sari serving near the left wall. No identifiable a person candidate is clearly present.

A long hall with white walls and a metal roof where many men sit cross-legged on the floor in rows along both sides, eating from banana leaf plates with rice and sides, water bottles beside them. Several are bare-chested or in white and saffron/orange cloths, and one elderly man in a yellow cloth sits at the right. A man in a light blue shirt and grey trousers walks down the central aisle, and a white-clad attendant stands near a decorated altar with a deity image and framed pictures at the far end. Tasseled colourful hangings hang from the ceiling beams. The scene looks like a communal meal, possibly annadan.
