A photo of a communal meal service under a tent with colourful bunting. Women in hairnets and plastic gloves, one in an orange sari, serve food from steel pots and trays along a long table covered with a pink-and-green patterned cloth. Two men on the right wear white kurtas and orange scarves; one has a rudraksha mala and a shirt printed with a portrait. A man in a white kurta and orange scarf holds a plate of rice, bread and vegetables. Other people in white and orange clothing stand behind the table.

A photograph of a food serving line indoors. A figure in an orange turban and orange robe with a beaded trim, wearing clear plastic gloves, serves rice from a large steel pot using a ladle. Behind him, a man in a white shirt and cloth stands near steel vessels. At right, a bearded man in white with a red tilak on his forehead holds out a steel plate of cooked rice, and beside him a man in glasses and a striped shirt holds a steel plate. A woven basket sits at lower left. The orange-clad server's appearance with turban, long hair and orange robe is consistent with the page's reference to a person, so this is a probable match; he is serving food as an annadan activity.

A photograph of a serving line in a large indoor hall where men in white shirts and white trousers serve food onto steel plates from stainless steel trays. Several servers wear orange lanyards and some have rudraksha malas around their necks. One server in the foreground holds a plate of rice, yellow dal and green vegetables, while others use tongs and spoons to serve from the trays. A steel bucket with a yellow handle sits in front of the counter, and people wait in line behind, some in white and others in casual clothes. This appears to be a communal meal service, with servers wearing disposable plastic gloves.

A central figure in an orange-saffron robe with a bright orange-red turban, long dark hair, and a wooden rudraksha-style mala around the neck smiles while serving food from a steel vessel, wearing clear plastic gloves. Beside them, a young man with a shaved head wears an orange shawl and white clothing. Behind the table, many white-clad volunteers and other attendees stand or move through the crowded hall, and a woman in an orange sari and a woman in a pink top are visible near the serving line. a person is serving annadan. Metal cups and steel containers are held by hands in the foreground.
