A photograph of a buffet serving line in a plain room with white cinderblock walls. A woman in a white embroidered outfit with white trousers and clear plastic gloves stands at a steel chafing dish, serving food with a spoon. Behind her, women in a red-and-gold sari, an orange top, a teal and purple sari and grey clothing hold white paper plates and wait in line. A tall stack of white paper plates and a yellow tablecloth sit on the table, with a sprig of holly at the right edge. No a person candidate is visible, so the event is a community meal with devotees rather than a discourse.
