A long serving line of volunteers in white hairnets and plastic gloves ladles food from steel pans onto white plates at an annadan meal service. Several women in red shawls and a woman in a gold and orange silk saree stand at the counter, while a man in a red scarf works at the far end. Other people wait and move along the line in a bright hall, with a tray trolley and steel containers in front. Small servings of yellow rice and vegetables fill the plates.
