A buffet serving line inside a hall with maroon curtains and gilded decorative thrones or altar seats behind. Several people in saffron and orange robes with red borders, some with shaved heads and white marks on their skin, serve food from a steel warming counter; one wears a white hairnet and cap. Devotees in saffron, maroon and white saris and white shirts queue at a floral-covered table holding plates, cups and a steel tray labelled 24. Other figures in white dhotis and red-bordered clothing stand near the altar in the background. This appears to be an annadan style food service at an ashram-type gathering.
