A woman in an orange saffron sari with an orange head wrap stands center-left, smiling and serving food from a steel bowl to people in line. Around her, devotees in white kurtas and white dresses, some with orange scarves and lanyards, wait and help. Steel cooking vessels and serving counters line the left side, and pink tiled walls with notices stand behind. Many women with long braids in white, yellow, pink and orange saris fill the foreground and background. Several people appear to be serving or organizing the meal. The woman in orange is not clearly identifiable as a person from appearance, so no identification is claimed.2006-12-15October 13 20132013-10-13
