Outdoor photo on a dusty ground near an orange-walled building. A group of about eight people crowds around several plastic tubs and basins filled with water. A young boy in glasses and a brown shirt bends over a basin and drinks from his cupped hands. A bald man in white dhoti with a red-and-white cloth and a rudraksha mala, and a woman in a yellow sari with a white blouse, stand among them scooping water with a steel spoon. A girl in a navy t-shirt and a woman in a red-bordered white sari also lean in. Bottles and blue and red containers sit on a table in the background. The scene looks like a water-serving or annadan-style activity.

A man in a white shirt and white dhoti stands near a large blue barrel, his back to the camera, with several orange, blue and red plastic buckets on the ground in front of him. A line of people in mostly white clothing, plus a woman in a purple top and a man in a blue shirt, stand watching along the right side, while small children in colourful dresses stand at the left edge. Two women in orange and blue salwar outfits stand at the far right. The figure in white is an ordinary devotee or volunteer; his appearance does not establish any identity, so no candidate is identified.2010-09-02December 06 20112011-12-06February 16 20072007-02-16February 16 20072007-02-16January 03 20122012-01-03Outdoor scene at a construction site with red earth, a water tank on a metal frame, and dense green trees behind.
