A photograph at dusk of a long line of women in white sarees with gold borders serving food or offerings from steel plates. In the foreground a woman in a white saree with pale blue floral print leans over a covered flat surface, holding a steel plate, while a woman in a white saree with a light blue border bends to tend the offerings. Behind them a queue of women stands in white clothes, some holding plates, under a white canvas tent on a dirt ground. This appears to be an annadan style food service line at a person event.
