A photograph of a kitchen serving line in a tiled hall. A man in an orange-saffron robe and orange turban, with long swept-back hair and rudraksha beads around his neck, stands at a steel counter ladling food from a large steel pot into a stainless steel plate. Women in saris and salwar kameez, one in blue and white, one in pale pink, and others in white and red, hold plates and stand in line. A wall-mounted insect trap glows above, and a video camera is visible at the upper right. The apparent Swamiji appearance is a probable match based on the saffron clothing, turban, long hair and rudraksha malas, with the page indicating his presence at this event.
