Volunteers in white kurta-style clothes serve food from steel pots at a long buffet table covered with a floral cloth in pale cream with pink and blue roses. Large stainless steel vessels hold dal and other dishes, and a man in white with a rudraksha mala serves with a ladle. Others in white with yellow lanyards and ID badges line up with steel plates, and a woman in a blue scarf reaches for food. The setting appears to be a communal kitchen or annadan serving area under a curved roof.
