A four-panel collage of an outdoor annadhan (free food distribution) event at night. Top-left: a large tented hall under a red-and-white canopy with strings of lights, where people in white and light clothing move between serving tables. Top-right: men in pink and white shirts ladle food from large steel pots into plates held by people in a line. Bottom-left: women in red and orange saris and children sit on the ground under a red tent, eating from plates of rice and curry. Bottom-right: a wide night view of a crowd in white clothes queuing beside bamboo barricades under bright floodlights. The collage shows food service, not a single scene; the people shown are the pictured participants.
