Photograph of an annadaan meal service under a tent draped with blue, white, green, yellow and red fabric. A bald man in a white dhoti and white kurta with an orange shawl stands at right, holding a steel bucket and serving food onto leaf plates. Four men sit at a blue-topped table on the left, and a fifth seated figure is partly visible at the right edge. Each plate holds a flatbread and a dark red sweet, with glasses of water on the table. The man's appearance is consistent with the page's a person reference but not clearly distinctive enough to confirm, so his role is described as a server.
