Photograph of a communal kitchen serving line. A man in an orange-saffron robe and orange turban, with long swept-back hair and a rudraksha mala, stands at a steel counter serving rice from a metal bucket onto plates held by women and a young person in white, red and blue saris and salwar. Other volunteers in white and green clothing stand behind a row of steel vessels under fluorescent lights, with tiled walls and a fly-catcher lamp mounted above. The setting reads as an annadan meal service. The figure in orange resembles the Swamiji candidate by appearance, with distinctive long hair, saffron robe and mala.
