A photograph of a ritual scene in an indoor hall with a cream tiled floor and orange cloth mats. In the foreground a woman in an orange sari sits cross-legged, scooping yellow rice from a steel bowl, while a man in white dhoti and shirt bends forward to offer food to a woman in orange sari beside him. Other people in white and orange saris and dhotis stand or sit around the room. A microphone stand, steel vessels, a water bottle and a framed portrait of a saffron-robed figure on a backdrop are visible. Scattered mats and cushions suggest a satsang or annadan gathering.
