A photo of a kitchen serving line in an ashram setting. A man in saffron-orange robes and an orange head wrap, with long swept-back dark hair and a rudraksha mala, wears clear gloves and uses a steel ladle to serve food from a large steel pot onto a plate. A young woman in a lavender floral salwar with a long braid and glasses faces him, holding a bowl of curry. Other people stand behind the counter in white shirts and a woman in a red-bordered sari, with steel vessels and pink tiled walls in the background.

He has long dark hair, a rudraksha mala across his chest, and a red tilak on his forehead, with disposable gloves on his hands. Around him, women in white and yellow saris and a woman in pink stand near steel trays and plates of flatbread, while a man in white kurta stands at right. The setting appears to be a communal kitchen or annadan serving line.2006-12-16December 16 20062006-12-16December 16 20062006-12-16December 16 20062006-12-16A crowded evening meal distribution. In the centre, a smiling man wearing a saffron-orange shawl over the body, an orange turban, and a long strand of rudraksha beads is holding a steel tray of food; he appears to be the figure the page identifies as Swamiji (probable), based on the turban, saffron clothing and rudraksha cues. Around him, many men in white shirts and dhotis press forward holding white paper plates; a few younger men in saffron clothing hand out food from steel trays. Some people reach in from the left with plates and food. Several white steel vessels and trays of rice and curry are visible in the foreground.2006-12-15A photograph in a kitchen or food-serving area with tiled walls and a stainless steel counter.
