A photograph of a serving line at a dining hall. A man in a saffron-orange robe and matching orange turban, with long dark hair and rudraksha malas around his neck, smiles while using a ladle to serve food from a steel pot onto a steel plate held by an older woman in a white floral top. Behind him, women in blue and grey saris and salwar wait in line along pink tiled walls, and a wall-mounted air conditioning unit is visible. The man's appearance with saffron clothing, turban, long hair and rudraksha malas matches the page's Swamiji reference, so he is a probable Swamiji serving annadan, with the people in line as devotees. Five to six people are visible.
