A large hall with polished white floor where rows of women in saffron and orange saris sit cross-legged on green leaf mats, with small cups set before them, as a meal is served. In the foreground a woman in an orange sari with a white floral garland and gold bangle sits before a gold-edged low platform bearing a banana leaf, rice in a steel tray, and bowls of food and sweets; a second woman in a white sari with a beaded necklace sits beside her. Behind them stand more women in orange, and a gold-painted throne-like seat and golden figures appear at the back near saffron drapes. At left a man in a white dhoti with green cloth over his shoulder stands beside a framed portrait of a saffron-robed figure with a sign reading 9:46. The scene appears to be a communal meal in a temple-style hall.

In the foreground, a seated person in a rust-brown robe and white flower garland sits on an ornate gold-and-red throne-like seat, serving food from a steel bowl onto a green leaf on an orange cloth. Beside them a woman in red and orange sits on the floor near steel vessels of food. Dozens of women and girls in orange and saffron garments sit in rows on the floor with hands joined, while a girl in white sari walks between them. A golden kalasha stands at the back, with orange-draped seats and a framed portrait on the wall. A digital clock on a stand reads 9:49. The seated figure with long hair and a garland on the gold throne appears to be a person, identified by the throne, long swept-back hair, saffron-toned robe and garland cues; the figure serves food as part of the annadan-style meal.2012-04-23 +2 copiesAugust 02 20162016-08-02September 30 20162016-09-30April 23 20132013-04-23 +2 copiesMarch 30 20162016-03-30A large hall with cream tiled floor and red-curtained doorways shows many people seated in rows on mats during a ritual meal or puja.
