Interior of a large open tent at night, ceiling and side walls draped in red, orange and blue patterned fabric with floral medallions, lit by strip lights. Many volunteers work at a crowded food-preparation station: women in cream and red saris and white sarees, and men in white shirts and white dhotis, wear light green and blue head caps and face cloths. Large steel vessels and cooking pots sit on tables, and a child in a dark t-shirt stands in the foreground. No swami is visible; the scene shows a free food distribution (annadhan) in progress.
