Photograph of a seated group meal and ritual gathering in a hall with a golden canopy and a raised ceremonial seat at the back. Many people sit in rows on colourful striped mats, eating from green banana or leaf plates. Monastics in orange robes with red shawls sit on the left, while others in white clothes with red-and-gold shawls sit on the right. A standing figure in white with a gold-bordered cloth leans over the mats. Pots and metal vessels are placed among the rows, and a large throne-like seat with a golden umbrella stands in the background. Bottled water is set beside the plates.

Rows of seated devotees in white dhotis and white kurtas, and women in orange and white saris with red borders, sit on mats facing a golden throne in the back centre, where a figure in orange robes sits. Banana-leaf plates of food, small cups and water bottles line the floor in a long row. A golden parasol hangs above the throne, and red-and-gold fans stand at the sides. Several monks in saffron sit at the left, and a standing figure in white is at the back. Banners line the left wall.2015-10-23A photograph of a seated group sharing a meal in a bright hall with a light tiled floor. In the foreground, four people in white clothing sit with their backs to the camera on a striped rug. Facing them across a long row of banana-leaf plates is a line of people in saffron-orange robes, several with shaved heads and white markings, their plates holding rice, vegetables and sweets. At the far end, a figure in red and gold sits on a high ornate golden throne-like seat, with an attendant in saffron nearby. Cups of water are set along the leaf plates, and a small table with objects stands at the right edge.2013-10-04 +1 copiesJuly 15 20152015-07-15October 23 20152015-10-23Annadhan in 20152015-01-01 +1 copiesSeated ritual gathering in a hall during a puja, with rows of devotees on red mats facing a central raised seat draped in a green and blue fan backdrop. Saffron-robed priests sit at the left with bare shaved heads and ash marks, while white-clad devotees and women in orange shawls sit in rows. Brass vessels and a kalasha stand near the central seat, and low wooden tables hold banana-leaf plates with food offerings and small cups. A standing attendant in white moves at the far right. The scene shows a satsang-style puja setting rather than a identifiable individual, and the central seated figure is too small to identify with confidence.2014-07-26 +3 copiesMarch 30 20162016-03-30May 23 20152015-05-23 +1 copies
