A photograph of devotees seated cross-legged on a tiled floor eating a meal from metal thali trays with compartments. The people wear white clothes with red-orange shawls draped over their shoulders and red-orange beaded lanyards around their necks. A woman with reddish-blonde hair in a braid sits at left, and a woman with a ponytail in the foreground eats with a spoon. Steel tumblers of water sit beside the trays, and a pillar-and-rope barrier runs along the side of the hall with tables and red cloth in the background. This appears to be a communal meal.2014-10-12 +1 copiesAnnadhan in 20122012-01-01 +1 copiesSeptember 03 20142014-09-03July 23 20112011-07-23 +1 copiesMen sit cross-legged in a row on a pale tiled floor eating a meal from stainless steel thali trays, with food such as rice, yellow sweets and flatbread visible.
