A food service line at an indoor event with white draped walls and red curtains. A bearded man in a maroon turban with a crescent-moon and gold ornament, a leopard-print cloth wrap, and layered gold and beaded necklaces leans over steel chafing dishes of yellow rice, serving a woman in a blue tunic and magenta dupatta who holds a plate. Another woman in a blue tunic and a woman in a light blue sari stand beside them, and a photographer with a camera stands on the left. Several other people in hairnets and orange and red saris stand behind the counter. The man has distinctive turban, ornate clothing and rudraksha-style adornments, consistent with the Swamiji (probable) label, serving food as annadan.
