A photograph of women in rust-orange sarees and rudraksha malas seated in a long row on a white floor, facing a line of banana-leaf plates heaped with rice, curries and fruit beside brass tumblers. Several women have their hands folded in prayer; the woman nearest the camera wears a gold bangle and sits with palms together. Behind them, people in white and orange sit along the hall, and a small lit lamp glows at the right edge. The meal appears to be an annadan-style communal offering. No a person candidate is visible in this frame.
