A photograph of a bright whitewashed hall where a line of devotees queues at a yellow counter on the left. Several people wear white head caps and blue or grey aprons. Men in casual shirts and jeans stand in line, while women wear saris and salwar kameez in pink, yellow, green, blue, orange and red, and a young child is carried at the front. A man in an orange turban and white shirt stands at the back of the queue. At right, a wooden window with iron grilles is framed by a red band with white geometric border patterns. A white ceiling fan and red steel roof beams are visible above. The scene looks like a prasadam or annadan distribution line.
