A photograph of an annadan-style meal service in a covered courtyard with wooden pillars and a red wall behind. Many young devotees in saffron-orange robes and rudraksha malas sit on the floor. On the left a woman in a brown-orange sari serves from a small steel bowl, and at the center a smiling girl in an orange dress and gold necklaces receives food. A bare-chested man on the right serves from a steel tray, and a woman in a red and gold sari stands in the background. No figure can be confidently identified as a person, so no candidate is marked.

Many have white ash lines on their faces and bodies and long dreadlocked hair, and several hold yellow flower or grain offerings in cupped hands. One central figure smiles while offering from their palms, and a figure in front wears a dark beaded necklace. The scene suggests an offering ritual, with a blurred white-clad person in the background.2017-07-03 +1 copiesAugust 14 20172017-08-14August 18 20162016-08-18August 14 20172017-08-14A photograph of young ascetic devotees in orange saffron cloths draped over their shoulders and bodies, several with bare upper torsos and white ash or tilak markings on their arms and foreheads.
