A photograph of a communal meal line in an open courtyard at an ashram. Many people dressed in white shirts, white dhotis and white saris stand and queue, some holding steel plates and bowls. Stainless steel pots and a serving table sit in the foreground, and a man in a white shirt and dhoti ladles food. Terracotta-tiled roofed sheds line the right side with more people seated, and white-walled buildings with red window frames stand to the left under a bright sky. No a person candidate is clearly identifiable among the visible people.
