A photograph of a food-serving scene on a red floor. In the foreground a woman in a green checked sari-style garment serves rice from a blue metal bucket with a wire handle, holding a ladle or scoop. Seated children and women in green, red and bright dress along the left reach out with plates; white paper plates hold yellow-green food. Gold bangles and rings are visible on several wrists. The setting suggests a communal meal.

A row of women, girls and children sit cross-legged on an orange cloth spread over the floor of a white-walled tent, each with a paper plate of yellow food in front of them. A woman in a red and gold sari with red bangles sits centre, a grey-haired woman in a red sari with a forehead bindi sits behind, and a girl in a blue top and a younger girl in a red outfit with hair clips sit at left. Devotees appear to be receiving prasad during an annadan meal.

A woman in white with a saffron-red shawl tied at her waist bends forward, serving rice from a blue bucket with a ladle onto white paper plates.

A long row of devotees, mostly women and children, sits cross-legged on a red carpet eating from white paper plates containing yellow food. In the foreground a smiling woman in a teal and green patterned sari with a red bindi looks toward the camera while a young girl in a polka-dot dress and a bald toddler sit beside her. Behind them, a few men in white dhotis and orange-red sashes stand near golden decorative structures. The people seated appear to be sharing a communal meal. No a person candidate is clearly visible in the scene.

A row of women sit cross-legged on an orange cloth strip eating a communal meal from banana leaves on a pale tiled floor. Each leaf holds rice and small side portions, with paper cups set beside them. A woman in a cream sari with a red-and-gold border stands at the left holding a steel pot and serving. The women wear white and cream saris with gold and red borders; one older woman has grey hair in a bun and another wears a purple sari. Behind them, other women in white move through a hall with chairs and orange mats. This appears to be an annadan style communal meal.
