A bare-chested man with long swept-back hair, wearing a rudraksha mala and an orange-brown dhoti with a yellow waistband, sits on a red cushion and smiles while handing a portion of yellow rice from a steel bowl. Several women in white and cream saris with orange and red borders stand and bend around a long table covered with a banana-leaf cloth, serving rice from large pots and passing bananas and vegetables. The women wear rudraksha malas and gloves. Potted plants and an orange draped cloth stand behind them. The man's distinctive long hair, rudraksha mala and saffron-coloured dress are visible cues, so the appearance-based label is a person, but the face cannot be confirmed.2014-12-28July 15 20152015-07-15A photograph of an outdoor serving line at a Nithyanandoham event.
