A photograph of a food offering being served indoors. A man on the left with a bare upper torso, a brown-orange cloth over his shoulder and a rudraksha-style brown mala sits smiling and scoops cooked yellow rice from a large silver bowl. Opposite him a man in a white dhoti and white shirt with an orange-and-brown patterned shawl leans forward to receive the rice in his cupped hands. Behind them women in cream and orange saris and white garments sit on a blue mat, handling trays of food, bananas and bowls. A brass pot and baskets of food sit on the mat, and a wooden cabinet and stacked books are visible in the background.

Beside him a man in a white shirt and white trousers with a red-and-orange shawl kneels and scoops rice with his hands. Women in cream saris with red shawls stand behind, one wearing white gloves and carrying food trays. Banana leaves, bowls of food and steel pots sit on a blue cloth. The seated man has distinctive long hair and rudraksha adornments, a person candidate, though uncertain.2014-12-28December 28 20142014-12-28December 28 20142014-12-28December 28 20142014-12-28A photograph of a serving ritual during an ashram meal.

A bare-chested man with long swept-back hair, wearing a rudraksha mala and an orange-brown dhoti with a yellow waistband, sits on a red cushion and smiles while handing a portion of yellow rice from a steel bowl. Several women in white and cream saris with orange and red borders stand and bend around a long table covered with a banana-leaf cloth, serving rice from large pots and passing bananas and vegetables. The women wear rudraksha malas and gloves. Potted plants and an orange draped cloth stand behind them. The man's distinctive long hair, rudraksha mala and saffron-coloured dress are visible cues, so the appearance-based label is a person, but the face cannot be confirmed.2014-12-28December 20 20152015-12-20June 15 20152015-06-15 +3 copiesDecember 20 20152015-12-20 +1 copies
