Night photo of a large covered food hall where a long queue of men and some women line up at a steel serving counter for a free meal. Servers in white caps and hairnets, with white aprons, ladle food from steel trays under a glass sneeze guard into steel plates and bowls held by devotees. Strings of multicoloured fairy lights and bright ceiling lamps light the open-sided hall, with a metal railing guiding the line on the left. Most people wear white dhotis, shirts, or sarees in pastel tones, and some have shaved heads and white garments. This appears to be an annadan or prasadam meal service.
