Steel cups line the leaves, holding food such as rice and yellow curries. Several women wear their hair in high buns, some have rudraksha-style beads and bangles, and a server in orange leans in from the right to serve food. No swami or other ceremonial figure stands out as a clear candidate in this frame, so the scene reads as a sannyasini annadan-style meal rather than a satsang.2019-01-01A seated group of women in matching saffron-orange saris and blouses with rudraksha malas sits on white mats at an outdoor gathering.
