A photograph of a group of women in matching saffron-orange saffron-and-yellow-bordered saris with rudraksha malas, standing in a long line in a hall and offering their hands toward rows of banana-leaf plates of food and small white cups set on the floor. Several women wear hair in buns and some have forehead markings; a white-clad attendant stands at the left, and a red curtain and white board hang on the back wall. The women appear to be performing an offering or annadan-style serving ritual before the food.
