A photograph of a long communal meal line in an ashram hall with yellow curtains and a red curtain at left. Volunteers in white clothing with yellow shawls serve food from steel bowls along a table covered with a cloth, with water bottles and small steel plates of food set out. Seated diners in white, some with hands pressed together, receive the food. Behind the servers, a man in orange robes and a red shawl stands near the wall, and another figure in orange sits at the back. A small vase with red roses sits on the table. This appears to be an annadan style meal service.
