A long row of banana-leaf plates set on a table for an annadhan meal, each holding rice, curry, fried items and a yellow banana. Paper cups with fruit-juice designs line the left side. On the right, the bodies of people in saffron-orange robes sit close together, their arms and backs partly visible at the edge of the frame. No faces are shown and no individual is identifiable as a person.

Rows of people sit cross-legged or kneeling before green banana leaves holding rice, yellow dal, fried vadas, pickles and sliced vegetables, with white paper cups set beside them. Many men wear white kurtas with saffron-orange shawls, and several wear orange-trimmed white garments; a man in the foreground has a saffron shawl over white clothes and wears glasses. Children in casual shirts sit at the far right, and additional seated devotees fill the background rows, all eating with their right hands. The mood is an orderly annadan-style feeding line.2012-04-26Photo 11712333November 25 20122012-11-25 +1 copiesAnnadhan in 20122012-01-01 +1 copiesAnnadhan in 20162016-01-01 +1 copiesAnnadhan in 20132013-01-01 +1 copies
