A buffet-style meal service in a plain room with cream walls, where devotees in white clothing serve themselves from steel chafing dishes holding white rice, yellow dal, flatbreads and vegetable dishes. A man in a white shirt with a bald head and a mala, and a woman in a blue sari with red shawl, queue at the counter while serving staff ladle food. Paper signs on the wall read SOUP COUNTER and HOT RESTAURANT. The scene suggests an ashram annadan kitchen, with sprigs of steel plates held in hand and people in white clothes.
