A photo of an annadan style meal service in a long open-sided pavilion with corrugated metal walls. Seated devotees in orange and saffron robes sit at long wooden tables with steel plates, and several men in yellow and red shawls hold food trays and serve them. A seated sadhu with a long beard wears an orange cloth and a yellow marigold garland, beside a person in a maroon turban with gold necklaces and a shawl. Oil lamps and string lights glow along the tables, with marigold garlands draped over the seated rows. Several people stand in the background, one wearing white and a lanyard, and a child is visible at the left edge.
