A photograph at an outdoor feeding area under striped tarpaulin canopies. A man in a dark suit and a long orange-marigold garland stands centre, walking among seated people. Seated rows of sadhus and women in orange robes sit on the ground before brass plates of food, while a bare-footed sadhu in orange and red clothing carries a steel pot and serves. Women in saris and salwar kameez stand in the background, and a cardboard carton marked Kanch sits at the left edge. The page links this to a Morning Satsang gathering with a person, and the centre man's garland and suit mark him as a guest, not a person, so no identity claim is made. Visible people total roughly 21-100.
