A crowded outdoor food distribution scene at a Kumbh Mela-style camp with dirt ground and thatched roofs. Many devotees, mostly women in pink, orange, blue and teal saris and shawls, sit on the ground eating from small plates, while a man in a white kurta and checked lungi on the right serves food from a plate. A large red banner and a framed portrait labelled "Anna Kshetra" hang above, next to a painted temple backdrop. No one in the scene is clearly identifiable as the a person candidate; the portrait shows a man with white hair and a shawl-like garment, but it is printed and its identity is not established from appearance.2013-02-15 +1 copiesAnnadhan during Allahabad Kumbhamela 20132013-01-01 +1 copiesFebruary 08 20132013-02-08February 11 20132013-02-11A crowd of people gathers under a thatched straw-roofed shelter at an outdoor food distribution point, where people hold small plates and eat.
