A photograph inside a white tent where food is being served from brass chafing dishes with ornate gold-toned frames. A smiling man with long dark hair, a red-brown tilak on his forehead, and a beaded mala and wooden rudraksha-style necklaces wears an orange-saffron robe and holds a white plate of rice and curry. Beside him, a bald man in orange robes and a beaded mala also smiles and serves food. Several other people in white and orange clothing stand in the background, and a bald man on the right edge in an orange shawl leans in. The man in the centre shows the long swept hair and saffron robes that the page associates with a person, so the appearance-based candidate is a person, shown here taking part in an annadan-style meal service.2015-07-07 +2 copiesAnnadhan in 20152015-01-01A photograph inside a white tent at an annadan food service.

The appearance of the central figure with long dark hair, orange robes and rudraksha malas gives a probable match to a person, but this is based only on appearance cues. Five people are visible.2015-07-07A photograph of a food service line under a white tent.
