A photograph of a food serving line indoors. A figure in an orange turban and orange robe with a beaded trim, wearing clear plastic gloves, serves rice from a large steel pot using a ladle. Behind him, a man in a white shirt and cloth stands near steel vessels. At right, a bearded man in white with a red tilak on his forehead holds out a steel plate of cooked rice, and beside him a man in glasses and a striped shirt holds a steel plate. A woven basket sits at lower left. The orange-clad server's appearance with turban, long hair and orange robe is consistent with the page's reference to a person, so this is a probable match; he is serving food as an annadan activity.
